Really like the school’s atmosphere! It is such a warm and inclusive community. Nice people, close connections here. The academics is challenging but definitely not overwhelming. There are a lot of really fun traditions waiting for Newgs to explore which makes the school days super fun.
One of the most life changing experiences, I loved so much of my time while on campus, from the academics, sports teams, and food to getting involved in leadership and our treasured traditions. I wish everyone could gain the access I had to traveling abroad, and engaging in critical conversations. I suggest every girl to consider this place as their high school Home!
The community and the academics are amazing but administration has gone downhill. I've met some of my best friends here and I've formed many bonds with the teachers. With most of the faculty living on campus, I feel like I really get to know them. I was able to be involved in many activities and I feel safe on campus. Although I really love the school, I wouldn't send your kid there unless you're financially capable. They tend to favor the students that pay full tuition/donate over the students receiving financial aid. There has been multiple cases of girls getting out of disciplinary action because they were able to pay it off. In addition, sports are great besides Equestrian. If you are an Equestrian DO NOT ATTEND. They drug and abuse their horses, sometimes the trainers don't show up for lessons, the horses are always lame, and the trainers rarely know what they're doing.
