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!
I went to this school from the 2nd to 8th grade. I really loved this school because of the close relationships you made with students and teachers. Coming out of Sidener, I already had 8 credits and started in more advanced high school classes my freshman year. This school really prepares you for the coursework that you get in high school and gives you long-lasting friendships.
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!
