- We Are Public
That’s right: charter schools are also public schools. Our charter school is located in downtown Duluth, serving 7th-12th grade students. But we enroll students from any district - you don’t have to be a resident of Duluth to attend HCIS!
- We Are Tuition-Free
Just like a public school, HCIS is tuition-free for all middle and high school students.
- We Are Mission Driven
HCIS was founded by a group of educators that are passionate about providing excellent academics, robust arts and inspiring experiential symposiums, all in a warm and welcoming learning environment. We have an official mission statement that guides us:
Harbor City International School is an inclusive, tuition free, public high school committed to academic challenge, community engagement, creative expression, and global perspective.
- We Put Students First
Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all learning. Charter schools are usually centered on the needs of the student, often through a personalized curriculum or specialized offerings. HCIS is no exception. We offer a small school environment with effective teaching techniques that inspire all learners. Teachers establish deep connections and understanding of each student’s abilities and needs. And we have resources on hand for learners who need extra support.
- We Are Free to Innovate
Because of our strong commitment to our mission we are an exciting hub of innovation. At HCIS, our highly qualified teachers are able to teach in creative ways. Our innovative teaching model enables students to build skills and connect to their strengths through a unique combination of challenging curriculum and inspiring extracurriculars. Unique symposiums take students out of classrooms three weeks each year to explore a specific area of study. And robust arts programming offers visual art, music and theater programs for beginning through advanced students.
- We Keep It Small
Parents looking for a small school, where everyone knows their name, often look to charter schools to find a greater sense of community. At HCIS, community is at the core of our friendly and deliberately small 7th-12th grade charter school. Our small school size enables staff to know students - and their families - personally. When students enroll here, they often report that they’ve found a sense of belonging - that they’re understood and known by their peers and teachers.
Harbor City International School serves students with top-notch education in a caring charter school environment. Are you interested in learning more about how HCIS can be a fit for your student? Contact us and enroll today.
