We discovered Harker after a nightmarish experience at Almaden Country Day School in San Jose. Harker was open, inclusive, and high academic and social awareness. It also gave us immense support for our child who has ADHD and dyslexia. We worked with educational therapists who gave Harker the gold label for their support and academics. Our child is now gettign A's and B's with no accomodations. This is in stark contrast to ADCS, which lacks in academics and is socially backwards. They shamed our child struggling with disabilities, ignored his assessments, and shunned his educational therapists. Harker is the place to take a sensitive kid or an advanced kid. They all live and learn in harmony at Harker. Do your research, talk to educational therapists, ours were very impressed with the stark contrast in Harker compared to ACDS. Close Quote
