When I first came to Priory my experience was fantastic. But, as I continued to learn more about the roots of Priory, my experience became less than great. Priory certainly prepares you for college with a difficult curriculum, but the teachers teaching that curriculum are not patient enough with students, and they lack many professional teaching qualities. If that is the only thing you look for in a school, the college preparedness, then Priory is a great fit for you, but if you want to look further into Priory, then read on. Club activities have less than $5000 in funding, this is the same school that is able to raise more than half a million dollars to make the campus look nicer. The administration thinks that students in the club should pay for the club expenses. But that is what my tuition is for. When signing up for Priory, they tell you that your tuition goes to support Priory, its academics, extracurriculars, etc. I look forward to attempting to fix this during my upcoming year
We can't recommend Priory enough. Though early into his tenure, we'd like to share our thoughts with you as our son is currently a new 7th grader. We were interested in a school that would challenge and bring out the best in our son (he previously attended a challenging Catholic school). The curriculum is rigorous, and our son greatly enjoys all of his classes and teachers. It has been a bit bumpy here and there with grades, but this was expected. Teachers are all available when extra help is needed, but your son must reach out to them and make the time. Is there a fair amount of homework? Yes, but it seems to be pretty evenly balanced across the subjects. Our son is very active in sports, so we've been careful to balance his activities, letting him get accustomed to the new setting and priorities.
I loved my experience at Priory, from start to finish. I felt challenged, but not overly-stressed. Time management was a cinch in college thanks to my time at Priory -and entering college with nearly two semester's worth of credits helped offset some of the cost (or so my parents tell me, ha). The school is very diverse for a Catholic school, but not as diverse as a public school or JBS.
My friends from Priory are friends for life, and I will not hesitate to highly recommend it to anyone who would be a good fit for the challenge.
