Harborlight History

Harborlight's first classroom was in the basement of the First Baptist Church on Cabot Street

Since 1973, Harborlight Montessori School has provided unparalleled educational, academic, and social experiences for children. Expanding and developing over the years, Harborlight Montessori School has become a model Montessori school for children from infancy through young adolescence. Susan Egan, R.N., M.Ed., Head of School, co-founded Harborlight Montessori School in order to provide the best possible education for her own children and to contribute to the community. The school was founded to provide exceptional educational experiences for all of the children who attend.

In 1981, the School purchased the property at 243 Essex Street

The tradition of excellence established at Harborlight Montessori School continues to provide a warm and exciting environment, employ exemplary teachers and offer an established, comprehensive, and creative curriculum. The faculty at Harborlight Montessori School takes great pride in the achievements of both current students and alumni.

Today, Harborlight is a warm, inviting social and learning community where students thrive.
