Description

Specialties

We’re tremendously proud of our century-​old tradition of excellence in education, and the international recognition our students, faculty and programs have earned. We believe the best way to prepare our students is to provide the best academic and extracurricular programs possible.

Kindness, respect, honesty, integrity and personal accountability have also been at the heart of a Harker education since the school’s founding. Students encourage and support one another and celebrate each other’s efforts and successes with hugs and high-​fives. It’s a supportive, safe, fun and nurturing place where kids make friends for life with their peers, their teachers and the staff.

History

Established in 1893.

The union of two schools, the Palo Alto Military Academy and the Harker Day School, formed what is today The Harker School. Although these schools began independently, David Starr Jordan, the first president of Stanford University, inspired both.
