Harborside Academy, located in Kenosha, Wisconsin, is a specialized public high school that operates as part of the Kenosha Unified School District. As an Expeditionary Learning (EL) school, it distinguishes itself from traditional high schools by emphasizing a project-based curriculum. Instead of solely relying on textbooks, students engage in deep-dive "expeditions" that connect rigorous academic standards with real-world problem solving, community service, and hands-on investigation.

The school is well-regarded for its tight-knit culture and commitment to character development, often prioritizing themes of responsibility, leadership, and community engagement. By fostering a collaborative environment, Harborside aims to prepare students for college and careers not just through test scores, but by cultivating critical thinking, communication skills, and an active sense of citizenship. It serves as a popular choice for students looking for a non-traditional, inquiry-based approach to secondary education.
