Amazing school! The 3 pillars speak for itself! Citizenship, Diversity and Scholarship! My son attends 1st grade the teachers are phenomenal and the system is excellent I’m each area! The head of the school is a genius! We are truly blessed to be party of the head Royce family and what a great balance for my son! Social, emotional and academically challenged couldn’t ask more! Very well structured and amazing staff! We feel at home and our money is well invested!
Both my son’s and daughters’ classes have a strong sense of community and support from other parents and faculty. My children are learning important academic fundamentals but also, and more importantly, how to think about tough questions. An amazing faculty teach our kids to think about everything from Dr. Seuss’ racism to children who are homeless and what they can do to change our world. Over half of the students at Head Royce will always be minority - it is school policy. My children have Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Christian, Black, Latino, Korean, Chinese, Egyptian, Japanese, Indian, lesbian, and gay families in their classes and many of the families are mixed. It’s an amazing place and I highly recommend it.
I've absolutely loved my experience at Head-Royce. There are a few things that I'd want to change. As a minority at a predominantly white school, I can often feel alienated and without a voice. Minority students either abandon their culture completely or are extremely cultural, both of these being ways of survival in an environment thta does not look like them. There really is not a middle ground. but it is relatively easy to find small group of close friends and teacher who will support you. The academics are absolutely amazing, and the college counseling team is stellar. You're sure to attend an amazing university, if you attend Head-Royce.
