School Profile
The Harker School is a private, non-profit school located in San Jose, California. Founded in 1893 as Manzanita Hall, Harker now has four campuses: Union, Bucknall, Blackford, and Saratoga, named after the streets on which they lie.
The Harker School was founded as three distinct schools, which merged in 1972 to form Harker Academy and in 1993, Harker School. In 1917, the enrollment was 40 girls and was served as a preparatory school for competitive colleges such as Stanford University. From 1902 to 1907, Miss Harker’s School was located at 1121 Bryant Street in Palo Alto; and moved to 1050 Greenwood Avenue in Palo Alto, where the campus grew in size and the nearby streets were renamed (Melville and Harker Street) to reflect the campus. In 1972, there was a merger between the Palo Alto Military Academy and Miss Harker’s School in order to form the Harker Academy. With the merger, the school moved to 500 Saratoga Avenue in San Jose, California and in 1993, the school name changed to Harker School.
In 1954, the Harker School joined the California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS) and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
