The Harid Conservatory is a ballet training school for high-school age students. It was established in 1987 and is located in Boca Raton, Florida. It offers four-year curriculum includes ballet and related dance courses. Academic studies occur at the Spanish River Community High School, also located in Boca Raton. HARID is recognized as a high school by the State of Florida and is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Dance.[1]

The school's founder was Fred Lieberman (1923–2008), who named it for his parents Harry and Ida.

He also established an endowment fund to continue funding the school after his death.[2][3]
