Classes for 2023/2024

The Harbor offers classes from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm. Students participate in one class during that time.

Parents serve in either a class or other area of Harbor. New parents are encouraged to attend classes with their child and/or serve as an extra set of hands in a class (it does not have to be your child's class) in order to learn the Harbor culture.

The proposed classes are:

• Nursery (if there is a need and volunteers available): birth through 2 years old
• Preschool: 3-4 yr. olds
  • Preschoolers will enjoy story time, a craft, a snack, and plenty of playtime each week. Monthly details are located on the member's side of the website.
• K-1st 
  • This year we will focus on learning all about our bodies and how they work. Each class we will learn about a different part and why it is important to our body as a whole. Each week will have a read aloud, a craft and snack. 
• 2nd-3rd
  • This year your 2nd/3rd graders will "travel" around the United States!! We will explore American history and geography as we learn about all 50 states. Your children will learn about the culture, customs, geography and climate of various regions of our beautiful nation. We will also do an art project based on an artistic style or artist featured from each region of the country, so there is plenty of hands on fun. In general, we alternate "geography days" with "art days."
• 4th-5th
  • We do a variety of things in the 4th and 5th grade class. We have fun together and learn together. This year we will be doing... Indiana History, science, public speaking, and Greek roots, along with some parties, guest speakers, and field trips.
