Vision: Build richer lives, active citizens, and stronger communities through music education. Values: Inclusion, Integrity, Innovation. Harmony School partners with the community to nurture creativity, achievement, and resilience in all students. Designed by a committee of local leaders in music and education, our curriculum is designed to explore identity, respect, power, pride, conflict resolut
ion, and activism through the creative lens of music. In response to the global pandemic and the current social needs of our community, in June 2020 we moved from a broad focus on music education to specifically target the needs of elementary school students in marginalized populations. Our programming is based on the internationally recognized El Sistema movement that began in Venezuela. Harmony School is an active member of El Sistema USA. Through this partnership, Harmony School has become part of an international network of programming and organizational professionals working to build partnerships within our community that benefit all citizens.
