Jacksonville, Florida, is home to many private schools that accommodate nontraditional learning experiences. Harvest Community School is a faith-based private school that promotes integrity, service, and excellence through its core values. Harvest Community offers a remarkable journey from kindergarten to twelfth grade that focuses on household involvement during academic development. Class scheduling for elementary and middle schoolers at Community Harvest is unique. Students attend school on Mondays through Wednesdays and complete a detailed lesson plan at home on Thursdays and Fridays. Household involvement is an essential part of the private school’s educational philosophy. High school students attend classes on campus Monday-Thursday; Friday gives space for internships, volunteering, and other extracurricular activities. Each enrolled learner benefits from small class sizes and hands-on class settings.

I have had a great high school experience so far and Harvest Community school is amazing. The school admin is great at making sure they have one on one relationships with everyone. I love that it's so small but there are also some downsides to it being so small like there is more drama and it's harder to have good teachers in everything. The admin is lacking in communication though. There have been several instances where I wasn't told information I needed to know. I would like to see the school get teachers that best fit the subject they're teaching and for them to learn how to better communicate with students and parents.

The teachers are great. In Highschool they all send out a welcome email and what the expectations are for the semester. They are available and want the kids to learn. It is a project based school so there is not always non stop lectures.
