Harford Day School is an independent educational institution in Bel Air, Harford County, Maryland. It is accredited by the Association of Independent Maryland and DC Schools and a member of the National Association of Independent Schools.
The school was founded in 1957 by three women: Sara Brumfield, Sidney Tynan, and Mignon Cameron. The school initially occupied a rented building on Hays Street in Bel Air before moving to its current location on Moores Mill Road in 1962. Harford Day School enrolls boys and girls from 3 year olds through eighth grade on a 12-acre (49,000 m2) campus in Bel Air, MD. The campus comprises a Lower School building with an attached gymnasium and library, which also houses the school's administrative offices, a Middle School building, a 12,600-square-foot (1,170 m2) wing that includes a multi-purpose room and 2 science labs, an Early Childhood building, two playgrounds, three athletic fields, and a small wooded area beside Moores Mill Road.
The school is divided into three divisions: Early Childhood (Little Dragons - K), Lower School (1-5) and Middle School (6-8).
As of the 2023-2024 school year, the Head of School is Mrs. Susan Kearney. The division heads are currently:
- Middle School (Grades 6-8): Mr. Devin Wootton
- Lower School (Grades 1 to 5): Mrs. Ashleigh Wilkes
- Early Childhood (Little Dragons - K): Mrs. Molly Levis
The school teaches Science, Mathematics, History, English grammar and literature, along with two foreign languages. Students are introduced to Spanish in pre-kindergarten, and all students take Spanish classes through the sixth grade. In seventh grade, students then decide whether to continue with Spanish, or take Chinese. A Latin class is also offered to students in the eighth grade.
