Parent: Cheshire Academy has been absolutely wonderful for our children and our family. Our children are two very different students with very different needs. The CA teachers, staff and administrators go out of their way to know and understand each student and help him/her achieve academic success. My eldest was recruited by several other prestigious boarding schools, but once we visited CA we knew it was the absolute perfect fit for us. CA not only has rigorous academic programs, excellent sports and music/arts programs, its student body is ethnically, academically and socially diverse which was a very important factor for our family. We were not at all interested in sending our children to a school that felt like country club with little diversity. My younger child had more challenges to overcome than his older sister. CA went above and beyond supporting him academically and was instrumental in deeply developing his passion and talent for music. We couldn't be happier with CA!... Read 126 reviews

Freshman: Xavier High School is a great place for students and athletes that want to achieve more and be better prepared for the rigors of college and the workplace. Students are challenged with lots of homework, rigorous classwork, frequent quizzes, and challenging tests. You will get out of Xavier what you put into Xavier. Teachers are amazing. They are prepared to help students at whatever means. They stay after school for extra help, are answering emails late in the night, and are committed to students' success. There are numerous clubs, sports, and activities that Xavier offers. Students have the opportunity to join nationally ranked sports teams, learn about their faith through many clubs and retreats, and further their education through many fun clubs. The only complaint I have is the lack of diversity. While the school could try harder to fix this, I understand that there is only so much a private, catholic school in Connecticut can do with diversity. Xavier is a great brotherhood....

Alum: As a child of international parents moved from school to school, I found Oneness-Family School to be a warm, caring community, where I could explore my passions and interests, engage with my peers on creative projects, learn at my own pace, and enjoy a range of activities, including art, music, yoga, camping, and especially musical theater! At Oneness-Family School, social and emotional learning is taught alongside a challenging academic curriculum. I so much value the "soft skills" and values I learned there. Additionally, I felt heard, cared for and respected by all my teachers, and am still in touch with many today!... Read 16 reviews
