History
Report
The Harvey School was founded by Dr. Herbert Carter and his wife Mabel Carter in 1916 as a residential school for boys, enrolling students through the secondary grades. Dr. Carter, a New York City pediatrician, built the school at his farm in Hawthorne, New York. His intention was to provide a country environment and an educational program for his son, Herbert Swift Carter, Jr., who had a weakened heart due to rheumatic fever in his teens.

Weil House & Barn Complex
Report
At The Harvey School we pride ourselves on our warm, welcoming community. From the moment you walk on campus, you feel a strong sense of inclusiveness and belonging. The WH&BC project builds on this core value by providing the opportunity for our physical structures to reflect this belief. When renovated, these historic buildings will create a beautiful arrival point where everyone feels at home.
