The Harker School is a private, co-educational school located in San Jose, California. Founded in 1893 as Manzanita Hall, Harker now has three campuses: Bucknall, Union, and Saratoga, named after the streets on which they lie.
The Bucknall campus houses the Lower School (kindergarten through grade 5), the Union campus houses the Middle School (grades 6–8), and the Saratoga campus houses the Upper School (grades 9 through 12).
Harker School's tuition varies by campus, and is higher than comparable private schools in the Bay Area.[5] Many of the 35+ after-school programs have historically been included in the tuition.[6]
