At The Harker School, our culture and tradition of philanthropy supports our comprehensive curriculum, robust extracurricular programs and outstanding facilities. Our current "Let's Make It Happen!" campaign is the next step to ensuring the best facilities for our students.
Giving
The Harker School offers students a world-class education, and we’re so grateful to our generous community for providing donations which help make it possible for 100 percent of our students to be accepted to the colleges, universities and conservatories of their choice. With programs from athletics to arts, dance to debate, STEM to service projects, we offer your children an experience here like no other, preparing them to meet the world on many levels.
At Harker, students achieve their fullest potential through our inspiring learning environment, high quality academics, wide-ranging programs and rich extracurriculars. Your philanthropic support helps us deliver an outstanding educational experience here at Harker.
Current Capital Campaign
A Harker education consists of four cornerstones: engaged, inspired students; outstanding, motivated faculty; quality and relevant curriculum; and well-equipped facilities. Capital giving provides us the opportunity to build the proper facilities to inspire our students to reach beyond the classroom, apply their educations to real-world issues and to reach their full potentials. Our “Let’s Make It Happen” campaign is currently underway to build a performing arts center and gymnasium on the upper school campus.
For more information about the performing arts and gym project, read our Case for Support Booklet.
