Nobles has been wonderful for my daughter who is now in 10th grade. Academically rigorous, wonderful teachers and supportive community. She is involved in a lot of theater, which is very well done. Full scale theater, stage, tech shop and costuming courses. Excellent facilities, beautiful campus and a large breath of opportunities. Ceramics, painting, photography, and many more electives built into the school day, as well as honors math, science and languages available starting in 9th grade. Excel program offering trips to locations such as France, Japan, Rawanda, India and more, including community service and skill building opportunities. Top level sports and facilities. Buses available from many area towns, which we use. Overall our family has been very happy with Nobles and enjoying being part of the community.
Having had multiple students go through Nobles I had distinctly different experiences. The oldest went through with the prior Head of School, who not only made it a point to be engaged with the school, but to know the students and families. In fact, as a parent, you were most often told something about your child that they were involved in and how it positively impacted the school.
My second child started at the same time as the current Head of School. That experience was considerably different as the connection with the students and parents was not a priority and despite meeting the Head of School dozens of times over the 6 years at no point was there any connection made to my child or any past discussions we may have had.
One of the major things at Nobles is morning assembly. This was something that historically was a strong community builder where students of different interests and backgrounds came together. That has changed and it is more DEI focused and not community.

Everything seems very Welcoming, and Friendly, and Everyone loves everyone on the surface, but actually going here, everyone is just here for themselves. At the end of the day, the insanely rigorous academics and pressure from peers and teachers create an environment of pure stress, with no breaks. They try to help with mental health problems, but if you actually go to see the advisors, who are great to be fair, you get passive-aggressively ostracized by your peers. If you're already a super genius with a great work ethic and 7 extra-curriculars and are looking for a school to boost you to a great college, this might just be the perfect school for you. But if you're just your average Joe, I'd stay far away.
