Alum: As a recent grad who went to GFS for 7 years, I can say that the school changed my life. No, it wasn't "perfect", but I love it and will be forever thankful for going there. Each student at GFS has a unique personality, and the environment is such that people can express themselves and not only be accepted, but embraced by the whole community. It is definitely more of a humanities centered school, but students will learn valuable deep thinking and analysis skills that will carry them through their lives. In addition, the teachers are incredibly accessible. If you ask them about an assignment, or even just want advice, they are respectful, helpful, and caring. Even after graduation, teachers still reach out and ask how I am doing. I also appreciate the creative nature of the school. J-Term changed my life in so many positive ways! Over the four years, J-term allowed me to start a new school club, student teach, and participate in two school exchanges. GFS is such an amazing school.... Read 97 reviews

Works Here: I have been fortunate to work at several different independent schools and the Episcopal Academy is the best! The community is warm and caring. Teachers challenge students to do their best while carefully encouraging and guiding them. The administration is supportive, forward thinking, and deeply engaged in the life of the school. The students are incredible - truly - and they have access to excellent educators and phenomenal facilities and programs.... Read 145 reviews

Parent: Words can't adequately express my gratitude for the Friends' Central community! Our family highly values education and the tuition is worth every penny for the school experience our children receive. From the youngest early childhood classes, children are supported, included, and taught that their actions and their kindness matters. The academics are vigorous, the differentiation of instruction applies to each individual student for a just-right curriculum that fits each child, the thematic teaching, and the culture of respect and inclusivity is felt at each grade level. Children blossom to their own unique potential.... Read 69 reviews

Junior: I am a current student at Linden hall and I can say that this school teaches you values that all of us should have. You are safe in your surroundings and can explore different parts of yourself! This is my third year attending this school and each day I get to learn new traditions. There are so many different cultures, and this school is filled with so many different beliefs and values. You never know what you may see next! Studying can be hard, but you have the support of teachers who value your understanding of the class material.... Read 82 reviews

Parent: My son chose George because of the diverse academics, the diverse community, and the recognition he would be treated as an individual. He is in 11th grade now and has thrived here. His teachers have celebrated his successes, worked with him 1:1 to support him through challenges, and he has made lifelong friends. He is more confident than ever before. As a parent, I appreciate the warmth of the community and the passion with which teachers teach. While it is still a year and a half away, I know my son will be ready for the next step in his educational journey!... Read 133 reviews

Senior: Coming to Westtown has been one of the greatest decisions I have made to date. Westtown has allowed me to gain experience in leadership, as well as build strong bonds with my peers and faculty. The academics are challenging, but not to the point where it consumes you, and there is plenty of support for students. I've had the wonderful opportunity to try new things and explore, and I learn more about myself every day while there. The fact that it is a Quaker school also adds a unique experience to Westtown. You don't have to be a Quaker to attend, but religious diversity is celebrated at Westtown, as well as learning about other religions. As a Muslim, Westtown has supported me tremendously throughout the month of Ramadan. All in all, a wonderful experience. If you are thinking about a place to grow as a person and not just as a student, Westtown is your place!... Read 105 reviews

Parent: Both of my sons started FSS in Pre K and they are now in Middle School. We LOVE FSS - the school is truly a second family to my whole family. The Community is so warm and welcoming - we feel lucky to be a part of it. The teachers and the administration care so much about each and every student. Kids thrive at FSS; school encourages their strengths and helps with their weaknesses, all while making students feel good about themselves and their learning process. Teachers are easily accessible to parents and students alike to discuss anything. Academics and arts are top notch, as well as the social and emotional care of all students. We also love how FSS takes full advantage of Philadelphia’s resources, whether it be its museums, Universities, parks or anywhere! I wish I could have been a student in this school environment!...

Parent: Amazing teachers and staff. Wonderful community of parents and families. We were a bit worried that people would be snobby towards families like ours who receive financial aid, but that has not been our experience at all. My children are in the lower school and thriving, they are supported by their teachers, the administration and other parents. We couldn’t be happier.... Read 115 reviews

Parent: My daughter picked AFS for High School for its campus, culture and engaging community. She felt welcomed from the first time we visited thru her entire time so far even though her friends were going to school elsewhere. We couldn't be happier with our choice as our child is thriving academically as well as with her extracurricular activities. The student population is very diverse and her friends are spread out throughout Philadelphia, Bucks and Montgomery county. The school has additional learning opportunities outside the classroom, including those interested in the medical, business or law profession. A new athletics center with all of the amenities has recently opened. Our family loves being part of the AFS community!... Read 137 reviews

Senior: When I first came to Church Farm school in 8th grade, I did not know what to expect. All I could think about was how am I going to fit in and who would I become friends with. By the end of the day, when my parents had left, I was greeted by not only the people in my class but the people in the upper grades. This truly showed me how much they had cared because they were once in the same position and knew exactly what I felt. It did not matter who you were, where you came from, or what you looked like. Living with your friends and seeing them 24/7 not only allows you to make great connections but it also allows you to make new brothers and be apart of a new family that you know has your back. Church Farm School is where I had begun my high school career, and I am happy to say it is where I am going to graduate. Being able to continue to have the connections with my fellow brothers and teachers will allow me to feel like I have never left.... Read 42 reviews

Senior: As a college prep school, DC lives up to its mission of preparing students for a life of impact. The students are offered resources that, when taken advantage of, leave them feeling confident going into higher education. The dedicated staff leaves students feeling confident in their academics, and their willingness and desire to grow relationships with the student allow for life impacting personal relationships. The desire of leadership to constantly improve the school out of a love for the students sets DC apart in their innovation. The mindset of life impact carries over not only in academics but also in arts and athletics. Overall, students are holistically educated and highly cared for!... Read 143 reviews

Parent: The choice of how & where to school children is one of the major decisions parents must make for their children. As parents of four children, this was a growing concern as our first child was reaching school age. While there were many options available that we explored, we are continually confident that Coventry Christian Schools was the best option for our family. With children now in the secondary and elementary levels, we remain grateful for this school community. Our top three reasons are: strong educational value(classical school model), family friendly community, and a safe environment on multiple levels. Such a blessing to have this major decision secure, having CCS as an wonderful aid in our primary role to parent our children. Lastly, each of children love going to this school! :)...

Senior: Overall, Veritas is a great place to go to school, and I've enjoyed my years there! Veritas is very different from other schools. It's small, but that's a good thing because students can have closer, more meaningful friendships. The small class sizes at Veritas also become like family. When compared to public schools, our sports, theatre, and music programs are small, but that makes it easy for anyone interested to join in. And, Veritas has many talented athletes, actors, and musicians who have done amazing things! What Veritas teaches is also very different from other schools: 2nd-7th graders take Latin as a base for learning other languages later, and Veritas also teaches Bible, History, Literature, and Theology in one class structure called Omnibus. Math and science classes are also solid and engaging, and dual enrollment courses for college credit are available for juniors and seniors. The teachers at Veritas are excellent, and they know how to make learning seem easy and fun!... Read 44 reviews

Niche User: Trinity has been a great overall education experience. The academics are strong for a private school, the school offers plenty of activities and extracurriculars for students in the fifth grade and up, and provide students with fundamentals needed for their future. As a high school student, I would've hoped for a better Guidance program, as a lot of work for college and standardized test prep was done on my own or with outside guidance counselors. But, Trinity definitely is a wonderful environment for learning and growing in friendship, abilities, and faith.... Read 67 reviews

Parent: Our family has been blessed with a Dock Mennonite Academy education thus far for 2 of our 4 children! Our Middle School experience with smaller class/grade sizes, an academically challenging curriculum, as well as being welcomed into a loving and supportive community has helped our children and family as a whole! Incorporating a faith-based education into our lives has encouraged our children to develop a greater appreciation for different beliefs/religions as well as strengthening their own spiritual awareness. The friendships that have been made between families raising their children with the same values has made the middle school years much easier and with an incredible amount of support!...

Alum: Phil-Mont has great teachers who are committed to the success of their students. The school’s staff and faculty are credentialed professionals with years of experience. Several of the teachers have been there for over thirty years! The Phil-Mont community is supportive, the environment is safe, and the academics are strong. After Phil-Mont, I went on to complete three postsecondary degrees (a bachelor’s degree, and two masters degrees), and I feel that Phil-Mont prepared me well for that path. I thrived academically, emotionally, and spiritually in college because of the solid spiritual and academic foundation I received at Phil-Mont. I wouldn’t hesitate to send my kids to this school. Like many private preparatory schools, Phil-Mont is a significant financial investment. At Phil-Mont, however, you get what you pay for. I, for one, cannot imagine a better way to use my resources than to invest them in my child’s spiritual and academic growth and maturity.... Read 67 reviews

Junior: I went to Blue Mountain academy since 2019, when I was a sophomore. Now that I am a junior, I can say a lot of things about my experience at BMA. I honestly, can't put it into words, but, I will explain. My experience is the best. The things that they teach here are very important and valuable, especially about our Christian life. The teachers are very loving and kind to the students. Besides the teaching, the food is great and I love that they give us, students, the opportunity to help make the food. It is a blessing! Also, living in the dorms, has helped m to change, to become more socially active and being with people your age, you can learn from each other and discover unbreakable friendships. However, most importantly, the Christian life is great here. I see that this school really cares about our spiritual life as every activity ties into that. I recommend that if you really want to expand your spiritual life, I suggest you to come at Blue Mountain academy.... Read 37 reviews

After moving and spending the past year teaching at another christian school, I am even more convinced that Covenant is a truly special school. The high school students at Covenant have a maturity that is unique for their age and are engaged in learning in a way that I have not seen elsewhere. This community of educators and families, sharing a love for Christ and for education, is doing a wonderful job at cultivating a love for learning and shaping these students into deep thinkers....

Niche User: I attended this school my junior year of high school. I was accepted with open arms. I would recommend anyone to attend if you have a chance. I only had a hard time getting there each morning cause I drove myself 45 minutes to get there in the morning and come home after school. This school helped me become a better person and improve my life spiritually. The teachers here are amazing and care about all the students. The administration is really good and well managed. It is very small but so worth it. If I lived closer I would have attended my senior year too and previous years of my high school life. It is located in a good location and is safe for students. This school is a lot like a family and I am still connected to it and stay in touch with many of my friends that still attend. The clubs and sports are well managed and have great opportunities to be involved in. I love this school and miss it very much!... Read 24 reviews

We have three recent graduates who were not only fully prepared for college, but all of them stepped onto their top tier college campuses with more than one full year of college under their belts because of the Advanced Placement and dual enrollment courses that PCS offers. All three of our PCS alumni were successful in college - two graduating summa cum laude - and all three are gainfully employed. More than this, we are happy that they think biblically, and they got this foundation from their time at PCS. Thank you PCS for blessings our family in this way!... Read 48 reviews

Parent: I love the aesthetic feel and architectural design of the campus. It made me feel like I was on a mini college campus. I thought, this should make the students feel at ease and comfortable in preparing them for a real college campus! A school that puts Jesus the center of everything in my student’s life was the most important factor in choosing a private school. Lancaster Mennonite exemplifies the teachings of Jesus shown by the grace, love, and acceptance the teachers have for their students. The school instills confidence in their students that they can be, and will become, “world changers”, by equipping them with the tools, skills, and ideals they need to succeed in an ever changing environment. I highly recommend Lancaster Mennonite School to any parent seeking the best opportunities to equip, grow, and promote readiness and confidence in their children to be leaders in life beyond secondary school....

Alum: As a student that has recently graduated, I would highly suggesting sending your child here. It is a great school for working on both your education and your spiritual closeness. It is a small school, which makes it easier for students to work one on one with all their teachers and find mentoring in them. The high school does a mentoring program every year where they are paired up with one or two elementary students to guide them on their walk with God. High school mentors also do pen pal letters or stories back and forth. In years past the mentor program had high schoolers teaching math, chess, checkers, and other things. Seeds of Faith does participate in chorus, band and sports like; volleyball, soccer and basketball.... Read 22 reviews
