STUDENT LIFE & COMMUNITY
At The Harbor Academy, we believe that a strong sense of community is essential—even in a virtual setting. While our in-person learning experiences provide valuable face-to-face connections, we also prioritize regular social engagement through Harbor Huddles, where students come together outside of class to build friendships and collaborate in a supportive space. To foster connection and belonging, we also offer Dockside Discoveries, teacher-facilitated student clubs that allow learners to explore their interests and connect with peers who share their passions. By investing in these opportunities, we ensure that every student feels seen, valued, and part of a thriving community, no matter where they are.
Harbor Huddles
Harbor Huddles are virtual, social gatherings where students come together through VR to enjoy activities like game nights, movie screenings, and trivia competitions. These events help students build friendships, unwind, and stay connected, creating a strong sense of community beyond the classroom.


Dockside Discoveries
Dockside Discoveries are teacher-facilitated student clubs where learners can explore their passions and special interests alongside like-minded peers. These clubs provide a structured yet flexible space for students to connect, collaborate, and dive deeper into topics they love.
