We provide a unique environment for learning in a small, intimate setting. Our school, opened in 1959, is nestled in an established neighborhood in Eastern Fort Lauderdale.

Our location allows both neighborhood parents and workplace parents to be close to their children from kindergarten through the fifth grade.

With under 500 students, we pride ourselves in recognizing and catering to each individual child's needs.

Our award-winning parent organization provides thousands of hours of volunteer time to enrich the education of our students. Many of our parents attended Harbordale themselves and are now dedicated school volunteers.

We have a rich and colorful history.

We have dedicated and experienced teachers.

We have a belief that every child is unique and, given the right tools, every child will succeed.
