They keep their technology updated and allow outside clubs to have reasonable access to the fields after hours. I'm not giving it 5 stars for two reasons: 1. It could be better. The registration, administration, policies, and procedures are all good and fair, but the public / government rules will keep it from being great. 2. The principal wasn't very "there for you" (I heard she was replaced last year). Any meetings with the principal weren't there to address matters with the children, she was there to protect the school first, then the children.

Part 2 of previous review. During an IEP meeting, Irene…read morewhite being there the main person in the special Ed department from the district my sons kindergarten teacher Lorraine Winakur, Grace the school psychologist and a couple others, they even made a statement after I had been sent to see the other school (which was far in mission Viejo almost lake forest area) that it was more Orange County and they all started laughing (when they were referring to having other races attend) I have never felt so dehumanized I'm my life, one thing is when people do something to you, but when they do it to your innocent child it is truly excruciating, they screw you over with a smile, they are a bunch of hypocrites that had all over the school that they were anti bullying, when they bullied my family out, I reached out to her boss I believe he was a president or vp at the district and his Assistant with my complaints and even emailed them proof, but I was completely dismissed and got no call or response (till this day) For these BIGOTS certain minorities are allowed there but only to be employed at certain jobs and only provide them services they're (the racists) are comfortable with, but never as an equal parent with actual legitimate concerns. His teacher Lorraine Winokur who was a special Ed teacher and had 5-6 kids in her class, couldn't even give me an answer when I asked her if my son had someone who assisted him full time or part time or only at recess. I was always just dismissed bullied and made to feel completely dehumanized, they would schedule the IEP's just about every month to bully us out, I would leave those meetings completely heartbroken, belittled and with actual physical pain in my stomach. It's sickening that some people want to fill their mouths saying they help those with special needs, but it's only the ones that are white even ones that belong to aliso viejo school district not Laguna, but us who lived in South Laguna and paid Laguna beach prices (were bullied out) ,this was completely racially motivated as at first it was presented to me as an option to send him to the other school, then the moment they found out we spoke Spanish at home, which for some reason that became a 5 minute conversation and after that it was no longer an OPTION but it was made to be our only choice. Now I see that they want to claim that they anti racist. Which feels like the BIGGEST slap in the face. I really hope that this stops as NO human race deserves to be made felt this way.

This excellent school does a great job providing a quality education in a spectacular setting…read more Easily the prettiest elementary school in South County, the playgrounds provide ample room to burn off energy with views of Aliso, Laguna Niguel and beyond. This school limits class sizes and teaches to State core standards. Thanks to the generous support of the community, School Power and the PTA, TOW has wonderful programs that go beyond that found in typical schools. Clean, safe and secure, this school truly is at the top.

When our family joined Harbor Day School four years ago, we hoped for a strong academic foundation…read morefor our children, but what we found has been so much more. Harbor Day has become an extension of our family, a place where our three children are not only challenged intellectually but also supported emotionally and socially in every way. The teachers here are extraordinary. They know each child deeply - their strengths, quirks, and potential, and they truly want every student to become their best self. What stands out most is how intentionally the school focuses on the whole child. Academic rigor is balanced with lessons in kindness, citizenship, and community. My sons have learned to think critically and act compassionately, skills that matter far beyond the classroom and that we see demonstrated when we travel and encounter different societies and cultures. The breadth of experiences offered continues to impress me. From science and technology to wood shop, Spanish/Latin/Mandarin, art, and beyond, the curriculum encourages curiosity and hands-on exploration. Every day, my children come home excited to share something new they've discovered or built. As a parent, I've also found a meaningful sense of belonging through volunteer opportunities and parent enrichment programs. Although we don't live in the immediate neighborhood, I've found that volunteering and participating in parent enrichment opportunities have made me feel deeply connected to the school. The families and faculty are warm, welcoming, and united by a shared commitment to helping children thrive both academically and personally. We are so happy with our decision to have our children at Harbor Day School. It's a place where children are seen, valued, and inspired, and where families feel truly at home.
