We achieve a high standard academically and strive to provide a holistic education, with a focus on students and teachers pursuing personal excellence. The strong community and parental support at Harmony contribute to exemplary student achievement. Our School Board is integral to the Governance of our school and in ensuring resources are directed to student identified needs.
