The Harley School is an independent school serving nursery through 12th grade in Rochester, New York, founded in 1917. It enrolls about 529 students and offers a college-preparatory program alongside a rigorous academic curriculum and a strong fine arts program, complemented by unique experiential offerings such as empathy education, glass making, hospice, and organic farming. The school operates with a small to mid-sized staff and emphasizes a diverse, inclusive environment designed to foster lifelong learning and global awareness. Its mission centers on balancing academics with joy in learning, physical and mental fitness, care for the world and others, and empowering students to become confident, lifelong learners. In April 2026, Harley School partnered with Rochester Ecology Partners to host a weeklong community event series focused on the connection between nature and human health.
