We have an innovative 21 st century approach to education. As a turnaround school, we have faculty members with extensive expertise and experience. The Harbor Pilot Middle School has a clear vision of success and high expectations for all staff and students. Our school’s rigorous course design is based on the most contemporary research and standards-based curriculum. We have the most up-to-date textbooks in all subject areas, and a state-of-the-art technology initiative with HP ThinkClient workstations in every classroom, a thirty seat computer and research laboratory, and a full multimedia library. The Harbor School’s educational philosophy is that students are taught to work collaboratively through inquiry-based learning. Through guided practice students learn to interact effectively and take responsibility for each other’s learning while engaged in higher order thinking skills. Being a full inclusion school, our systemic approach is the use an RTI (Response to Intervention) three tier model while differentiating instruction, and using adaptive technologies for all students according to their individual student data profiles. Our educators are trained to implement the AVID program, which provides foundational support to each student in organizational skills, daily homework expectations, Cornell Note taking, time management, Socratic Seminars, and goal setting on the path for college success. Motivation in the AVID program ensures that our students will succeed in a rigorous curriculum, increase their enrollment in four year colleges, and become well educated, responsible participants and leaders in our society. Parents are vital to the success of the school, and we ask that parents help reinforce the learning process. Parents should sign agenda books daily, review all progress reports, and contact their teachers for conferences. We require that Harbor students read 30-45 minutes each night. Families have a voice in school governance through the parent council and the Governing Board, and we strongly encourage their involvement in their child’s education. We offer a range of after-school programs tailored to meet individual student and family needs including: academic support, MCAS prep, social/emotional groups, and athletic groups. The resources of the Harbor School are greatly enhanced through our distinctive partnerships with the Neighborhood House Charter School, UMass Boston, Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center, Dotwell, Very Special Arts of Massachusetts through BPS Arts Expansion Fund, City Year, Project DEEP, Best Buddies, and the Boston Inclusive Network. Student Body There are approximately 300 students enrolled at the Harbor School. In 2012-2013, 64% of the students are African American, 23% are Hispanic, 8% are White, 3% are Asian, and 2% are other. We have a Special Education population of 34%. 32
