I cannot say enough about the opportunities New Trier provides for ALL students. My two sons (one a graduate, another a current student) have very different interests, needs, and learning styles. They both thrived at New Trier. The teachers are unbelievable, and the academic environment is top-notch. There is a club for everyone, a sport for everyone, an elective for everyone. STEM classes and an engineering track? Check. A small school-within-a-school for students interested in experiential learning and community-based activism? Check. Multiple levels of sports plus a huge intramural program? Check. Even though the school is large, it really does a great job of supporting every student. My college student is so well-prepared, and my current student is on his way!
New Trier is an amazing school. Due to its size, there is something for everyone and lots of academic, athletic and other extracurricular activities. The teachers are terrific and the students are generally impressive, kind and supportive. The advisory system is another feature that sets NT apart from other schools. My three kids each had very different, but equally satisfying, experiences, and were very well prepared for college. Many move to this area to send their kids to New Trier and are happy they did. There's a reason why people are so proud to have graduated from New Trier!
Overall my experience at New Trier High School has been a positive one. Majority of teachers recognize the individual student and treat students accordingly. Most of my teachers have shown me compassion that has fueled my academic success. My experience in athletics and academic clubs has provided me with invaluable skills, preparing me for a successful career. Athletics and academic clubs provide unique opportunities for all students, regardless of past experience, leading to confident students willing to take athletic and academic risks. Despite the large student population, accessibility of various communities provides students with intimate relationships and meaningful connections. Unfortunately, this same praise cannot be applied towards the diversity of New Trier’s student population. The lack of diversity within the student and teacher population is worrisome and in order to have a program that produces truly well-educated and accepting students, this issue must be addressed.
