Parent: I have two children (mixed race) attending St. Andrew's currently. St. Andrew's is the MOST inclusive school in Mississippi. It has given my children a sense of belonging and safety that is not generally possible in the state of Mississippi. St. Andrew's strives for academic excellence. I have compared St. Andrew's diversity against other public and independent schools and it is far superior. I have compared it's academic program with other public and independent schools and it is far superior. The curriculum and teaching are outstanding. The classroom sizes are small and you are given ample opportunity for assistance throughout your time at St. Andrew's. There are opportunities for sports, arts and extracurricular activities for all children, middle schoolers and young adults. St. Andrew's celebrates all races, cultures, religions - they make the world a better place and will academically and socially prepare your child for the future.... Read 104 reviews

Senior: I love Mt Salus. The small classes make it so much easier to make friends and to get to know your teacher so much better. The teachers truly care about you and are able to invest in each student. I ask I love that we are surrounded by godly teachers and leaders of the school. They care about us personally whether that is asking for prayer request or doing a morning devotional.... Read 11 reviews

Senior: It's a great school to explore! It is a great school if you are looking for opportunities in sports. This school is good really just for opportunities. The schools have a great set of teachers that help you in all ways and the school rewards you with beautiful trips out of town. The students are very friendly and are understanding and are fun to be around. The schools do amazing activities and have great chapel lessons, great speakers from all over the world....

Parent: MRA is a college prep school with a Christian emphasis that prepared my daughter thoroughly for college! From kindergarten to high school graduation the academics, leadership opportunities, community service programs, and true family atmosphere nurtured her to be very well equipped for her future. The faculty and staff are amazing and still remain interested in her well being even after she graduated.... Read 63 reviews

Senior: The Piney Woods School is a great school for upcoming high schoolers!!! I am currently a uprising senior at the Piney Woods School and every thing is Amazing. I like the dorms a lot, they are set up just like it would be at college. So when you go to college you already know what to expect from the dorms and dorms parents and the other students there. One thing I do not like about the school is the lack of communication the staff and faculty have sometimes, but overall it’s great!!!... Read 32 reviews

Senior: Copiah Academy is a great school for all types of students! It is small so you can get one on one attention from your teachers yet large enough that we can play against some of the best schools in the state! I would hope more courses would be added to the curriculum in order to reach every student's interest level. The one thing I would change is more focus on the SAT .... Read 42 reviews

Senior: East Rankin Academy is small private school with 44 students in my graduating class. I love that the classroom student to teacher ratio is small which allows for better learning. Everyone at my school is friends, there is no bullying or bad behavior that goes on within the school. Everyone from the staff, faculty, to students are friendly and helpful. I love my school!...

Parent: New Hope Christian School is such a blessing. My child attends NHCS as a very sweet, independent, respectful Christian, taught by NHCS. NHCS has given my child a strong educational and Christian foundation. The staff at NHCS is AMAZING! I work full time and feel as if I can”t spend enough time with my child, but, I am proud to say that the school family allows me to do what I need to do and not worry. The staff understands that every child is different, every child has a different personality and not every child learns the same way. They work together to come up with new ideas to make learning fun. They master the skill of effective communication with students. It takes a village to raise a child. NHCSchool will teach your child, love your child and listen to any suggestions or comments. NH has an elite group of teachers and staff that care. If a student has a problem, just communicate it. NH will not let you carry the burden of worrying about your child alone.... Read 6 reviews

Parent: A true family environment! Much smaller classes make for a better learning opportunity. The Athletic program offers any/all athletics that any athlete may be interested in. Bible class is a plus at this school that is not provided at any public institution. As a new transfer from public to this private school, we are truly blessed. Every aspect of our new year has been phenomenal. We love our new family and friends. Everyone wraps themselves around this school and all the students that are here. Keep asking ourselves, "Where have we been all this time?" Looking forward to getting more involved and becoming even closer to all the new friends that we have made!... Read 49 reviews

Parent: Both of my children attended BMK for K3, K4 and kindergarten. We couldn't be happier with their experience there! Using the Abeka program along with learning Bible stories, social and life skills, they were well prepared for "big school!" We quickly became part of the BMK family and it was so hard to leave when they graduated!... Read 1 review
