Sidener was a very exciting and fun experience for me. I have made so many great friends and have learned from very good teachers there. The environment is very inviting and happy. The level of the classes we took were challenging, but it only gave us a head start on high school. The time I spent at Sidener was the filled with some of the most funniest and best times of my life! I loved the people I had the opportunity to grow up and laugh with!
Sidener was definitely a good change for me. The teams are wonderful, and all clubs and classes are fantastic. It doesn't take long before you find you're school family. There are "cliques" for sure- but not in a bad way. Everyone welcomes you with open arms. The opportunity for experience and change is one that is not comparable. The teachers are fantastic people who make you feel like you have a home away from home!
I loved how close all the students got to be with each other. We grew up together and had each other’s backs and still communicate in high school. I also loved the challenges set forth for the students. We were pushed to do our best. It’s one of the reasons why I try so hard in school now. I would like to see more extracurricular activities going on though.
