Parent: Christian Brothers Academy has been an exceptional choice for both of my children. The older one just finished her freshman year at college and was extremely well prepared for the rigors of college life. My son is a senior and although very different from his sister, has also had an amazing CBA experience. They came from public school and both entered in 7th grade which I highly recommend. The Jr. High team does a remarkable job of creating a sense of community and family from the start. There is a tremendous amount of school spirit and pride. My children have been involved in sports, the musical, clubs, and every social activity. While they most loved the traditions, like Founder's Day and Homecoming, it seems like there is always something fun going on and they've made great friends from all over the Syracuse area. I feel like CBA was the best choice we've made and it prepared our children well for the rest of their lives.... Read 159 reviews

Junior: Bishop Ludden is a great school. Since it is a small school it is amazing for making many friends. There is a good balance because older kids can be friends with younger kids and they can learn from each other. Bishop Ludden is one of the few schools that offer the IB program. I feel these classes are essential for preparing me for college. The teachers are amazing as well, they explain the lessons very well and the small class sizes make it able to ask questions and have one-on-one conversations.... Read 61 reviews

Parent: Our 2-year-old has attended Merritt since she was 6 months old, and we would not dream of sending her anywhere else. Our experience has been magical. Merritt is not only her school; it is her second home. We truly feel that her teachers love and care for her as if she were their own child. The environment at Merritt is as enriching as it is loving. Even for babies and toddlers, teachers treat the experience like school--in the best sense of the word, with endless activities that are fun, creative, engaging and educational. On a practical note, the hours and holiday/weather closures at Merritt are better than any day care or school we have heard of. Merritt prides itself on serving working families, and it does. We have a somewhat unusual weekday schedule, and Merritt has accommodated us so that we can maximize time with our daughter. We send her to Merritt foremost for the loving and enriching environment, but the practical aspects have also helped us more than we can say.... Read 2 reviews

Senior: Holy Cross Academy is a big/little family. Every corner you turn it is just filled with love. Alumni always come back because they love it so much, teachers give their everything to help students achieve their fullest potential, and one never feels left out. The only thing I would like to see change is our dress code, girls wear skits and in the winter can wear dress pants, I feel they should be able to wear them all year round. As much as I understand a dress code is to teach discipline and is very helpful. Pants all year would be nice though.... Read 7 reviews

Alum: BVM is a unique high school. Unlike other high school environments, the dangers of teenage ignorance are mostly absent. BVM focuses on the development of its students souls as Catholics, putting this infinitely important task above all others. The resources include sacraments and priests. These things are most beneficial to anyone, especially a young adult in the process of being formed into a good Catholic. The school teaches its students how to think. Using the best philosophy history has to offer, that of St. Thomas Aquinas, the students are encouraged to develop a delicate conscience with which they may use to orient the use use of their God given free will for the purpose they have been given. As I student, I was often reminded of life's one importance: loving and serving God.... Read 5 reviews

Parent: Our experience with St. Catherine's has been fantastic since my girls were in the Early Learner program. The teachers have been amazing and have been truly supportive and accommodating to each of my girls individual personalities and needs as they've gone through the program, allowing them to really come out of their shell and find confidence and excitement through learning. I have been thoroughly impressed each year and am grateful that my kids will graduate from this school. The teachers are dedicated and engaging with the girls, challenging them and helping them reach their full potential. The campus is gorgeous with state of the art facilities and with a multitude of amenities. St. Catherine's is a truly incredible place for my girls to not only learn, but to thrive and grow into well rounded young women ready to take on the world!... Read 138 reviews

Freshman: This is my first year at GDS, and so far it's been amazing! All of my teachers are excellent, the classes are challenging, and I've been learning so much. I've been able to go in person two days a week, which is great, and most of my teachers have been on campus as well. The facilities are nice and modern, the students are interesting, and everyone is really kind. The clubs are well-run, too. I would recommend GDS to anyone who is willing to put in work at school and pay the tuition.... Read 52 reviews
