School Reviews
5 3/14/2023
We have 2 kids at Harambee and have been attending for 6 years now. Best decision ever! We love the staff, and the year-round schedule, and there are only ~60 kids per grade. There is a lot of diversity and the school is located on acres of land, so a lot of nature activities. I recommend taking a tour!
