Harmony Heights School is a therapeutic school for girls diagnosed with emotional issues[4] in East Norwich, New York, United States.

Harmony Heights is a New York Department of Education-approved program and offers a New York State Regents diploma program in a therapeutic special educational setting.[5] Founded in 1974,[4] Harmony has assisted thousands of girls throughout the New York Metropolitan area (including Long Island, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, Staten Island, Westchester County, and Upstate New York)[6] in getting the help they need to heal and recover from serious emotional problems (such as severe anxiety, depression, trauma, school avoidance, and PTSD) that have interfered with or prevented them from benefiting from or attending traditional public schools.[4] Harmony provides therapeutic and educational support systems, which include small class sizes;[5] one-on-one, group, and family counseling; parent supports;[7] and Therapy Dogs. Harmony has rolling admission, meaning students may transfer in at any time of year.[8]

The school was formerly the Mabel G. Fox School.[9]

Harmony Heights School has 75 students, ages 13 to 21, diagnosed with emotional difficulties.[6]

Tuition and transportation costs are regularly paid for by the school district where the student lives.[8]
