Dear Harker Families,

We are extremely honored to have your family with us, and to be able to bring out the best in your children at Harker. Our students and our teachers inspire us every day, and we look forward to continuing the journey in the year ahead.

The Harker admission team will be sending you your re-enrollment contract for next year in an email from our enrollment software, Ravenna, so you can keep an eye out for that email. For 2025-26 we will continue to follow our model of increasing tuition commensurate with inflation rates in the Bay Area so that we can continue to meet the increases we are seeing in program costs and to keep staff salaries abreast with inflation. Over the past few years, we have also removed incidental costs for on-campus programs, and now subsidize grade-level trips to keep the costs to families consistent.

Tuition, along with the generous philanthropy of our community, allows us to provide our students with rich and varied academic and curricular offerings, enrichment and supervision from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., outstanding food service, highly qualified nursing and counseling services, impressive libraries, extensive transportation, well-trained and caring security, and so much more.

Our mission since 1893 has been to motivate, challenge and inspire all our students in their academics, extracurriculars and personal development to help them be the best that they can be. We hear evidence of that regularly as we learn about the wonderful things our alumni are doing to make the world a better place; many of them come back and share their journeys with your students. It’s inspiring for all.

Your entire family is – and will always be – a part of the Harker family and we thank you for your continued partnership with us.

Wishing you all a wonderful 2025!

Sincerely,
Brian Yager signature
