Mission: Harbor schools' mission was to help children, families and adolescents in need by providing services in their homes as well as in alternative homes and individualized care including: psychological, educational, foster care, transition to independent living services, respite/shelter, residential and family support services.
Programs: Harbor schools had a lease agreement with merrimac heights academy to operate a residential/special education facility where most young students with learning and other developmental disabilities can achieve maximum independence and as a result become productive members of society. For some students, this instruction will need to be provided in a formalized and structured setting, and then translated into the world at large with stringent community based instruction. Though a number of programs provide a limited amount of support and education in the public schools, most of them are conducted during school hours (6. 5 hours a day), consequently leaving students and families with several hours of unstructured time; time that could be utilized for vocational training, community based instruction, and social interaction. As an accredited, non-profit, partial-residential school, mha is able to address the complex educational, emotional, psychological, physical, career-technical and social needs of students with significant language learning disabilities, non-verbal learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and other disorders as outlined in the admission criteria. On 03/31/2016, harbor schools sold its last property to merrimac heights academy which was currently leasing the building. The selling of this building ceases services provided by harbor schools.
