Freshman: I've been going to this school for 12/13 years now, and I'm in the 9th grade. This school has been an amazing experience! I have had fun making friends with the girls in my grade. The best part is the traditions, such as conge (faire), may crowning, and cache cache (hide and seek), that come with being a Sacred Heart student. If you plan on attending this school, it would be an amazing choice. The teachers are amazing! The classes aren't extremely difficult (some classes are), and the teachers are great at their job (I am not speaking of all teachers).... Read 75 reviews

Senior: Mount Carmel is such an amazing school. The environment is extremely inclusive and loving. I know that I am truly cared about at the school. I receive a wonderful education, and I feel well prepared for college. Administration makes sure we have a great mix of fun and seriousness. The teachers truly care about our well-being and actively engage the class in learning. This year is a bit different because we cannot have the usual exciting event due to COVID; still, the faculty and student council tries to make school as enjoyable and fun as possible. Overall, I truly love and enjoy receiving my education at Mount Carmel Academy!... Read 275 reviews

Sophomore: St. Mary's Dominican High School is the best school I have attended. Dominican gave me opportunities I could not receive on my own and pushed me to be the best person I could be. DHS has a comforting sisterhood environment that focuses on prayer, study, community, and service. With our fulfillment of truth, we are committed to our motto, veritas!... Read 213 reviews

Alum: As a recent alum, I have been catching myself thinking about my time at Ursuline Academy very frequently because of the wonderful memories I have made there. I attended Ursuline from Toddler 2 to Senior year. Now, as a college student, I feel as if I excelled in my academics, extracurricular activities, and social life because of the excellent way Ursuline prepared me for life after high school. I appreciate the sense of community Ursuline has to offer, especially the long-lasting bonds students are able to make with their teachers. The staff makes sure the school maintains a comfortable environment so students are able to learn attentively and grow at their own rate. Teachers urge students to step outside their comfort zone in order to experience new perspectives. This helped me in college because I was comfortable with putting myself out there more. Looking back on my time at Ursuline, I wish I could do it all over again and relive the amazing and life-changing moments I received.... Read 106 reviews

Senior: I am currently a high school senior at Cabrini. My overall high school experience has been one I will cherish forever because of everything Cabrini has given and taught me. I have grown extremely close to my class of 90 and virtually know almost all of my school's community! I am extremely grateful for the rigorous curriculum Cabrini has provided me to prepare me well for college. I am also in many clubs such as student council, ambassadors, and NHS which have helped me enhance my leadership skills. Cabrini has given me so much and I could not imagine myself going anywhere else. The teachers are always incredibly helpful when in need of extra assistance and they are always fair....

Sophomore: St. Scholastica Academy is an amazing all girls school. I love being surrounded by all girls because I feel like I can be myself. We have amazing teachers that want to help you succeed in life and tons of sports and extracurricular activities to participate in. I have had a great experience there so far. There are a few things about it that I’d rather change but it is a very good school. They care about our safety there. In fact, we just got key cards and locks on every building in the beginning of this school year.... Read 263 reviews

Senior: I think Archbishop Chapelle High School is an excellent school. They have many activities, such as Rally, Challenge, pink week, spirit weeks, etc.. These activities allow the individual classes and school as a whole to bond and form lifelong friendships. The education at Chapelle is great and really prepares you for college. They offer many classes that aid in the preparation of college, such as advanced placement and dual enrollment. All of the teachers genuinely care about each and every student and want to see them succeed in life. Students can go talk to them to get help with the class or even just to talk about their day. Chapelle is a true family!... Read 196 reviews

Freshman: I love AOL because I have felt welcomed from the very beginning. The staff is very understanding and supportive! I really feel like I’ve found my place at this school, and I’ve discovered lots of new things that make me, me. Being an AOL student has opened up lots of opportunities for me to enjoy the high school experience and succeed in my life. I’ve met lifelong friends here, and couldn’t be more thankful for Academy of Our Lady.... Read 204 reviews

Senior: My experience at Saint Katharine Drexel Preparatory School has been wonderful. My teachers and classmates have helped me to become the woman I am today. I enjoy having the experience to volunteer to do service hours at my school. Saint Katharine Drexel Prep has taught me the importance to give back to my community. Most importantly, I have learned to become a good example for future graduating classes. I truly value being a good role model for others so they can look up to me. My overall experience at Saint Katharine Drexel Prep has been great!... Read 91 reviews
