#1 Best Christian High Schools in New York City Area
Junior: An excellent education, especially with the upper school. Hands-on teachers, willing to help with anything. Great student body, and lots of wonderful extracurriculars. Facilities are top-notch, lots of space and natural light. Good performing arts program, as well as visual arts. Humanity classes are some of the best in the country. The only issue I have is with the math curriculum and how they use Problem-Based learning. Excellent and approachable college counselors. It is not a surprise that this is one of the best schools in the country.

#2 Best Christian High Schools in New York City Area
Parent: Such a great school! I'm so happy I sent my children here, rather then an upper east side school, because my kids are humbled and kind. Friends created such an environment of support, my daughter was able to flourish and make meaningful relationships. The academics are rigorous but informative, and the people are lovely. I definitely would recommend. I am proud to be a friends parent!

#3 Best Christian High Schools in New York City Area
Senior: Small class size, pro-active teachers who are always willing to make time for you. Each HS grade is comprised of approximately 100 students and you know almost everyone in your grade and the entire high school. I learned so much about myself and how fortunate I am as community service is required at Friends. It speaks to one of the underlying Quaker premises of treating others as you wish to treated. Spending time working (cleaning, cooking, food prep and kitchen work) at a Friends Seminary homeless shelter and then in the evening interacting with the men was ENLIGHTENING!

#4 Best Christian High Schools in New York City Area
Middle School Student: This is my first year at SBS, but i already love it here. All of those bad reviewed are bogus.
1- The food is GREAT!
2- The faculty is amazing!
3- There is nothing to hate about the wonderful, diverse community at The Stony Brook School.
Come join us and have the best school years ever. You will be prepared for college, and may even get into Ivy League schools! I know a graduate who is going to Stanford from SBS. You are always successful after going to this amazing school. You don’t have to be Christian, I’m not, it’s a great thing to have cultural appropriation, and to learn about other religions. :)

#5 Best Christian High Schools in New York City Area
Parent: BFS has provided our two kids an incredible home both academically and socially. Our older daughter has not only become an excellent scholar who's been taught to think analytically and creatively, but who's learned how to see the world with clarity as far as privilege around race and class, how to negotiate conflict, and how to take action to make her world a better place with both burning passion and peaceful compassion. Our younger child, who isn't as academically motivated and learns more kinetically, has also been embraced and supported. There's a good balance of academics and core values, and service to community is emphasized. There's great diversity in the student body and in the teaching staff and administration. With diversity comes challenges and often misunderstanding, and the school has faced these challenges head-on, not always with perfection but with commitment, passion, and consistent effort. We love BFS and feel lucky to have found it.

#6 Best Christian High Schools in New York City Area
Parent: So far Grace High School has been an excellent choice for our son. We have found the leadership to be particularly excellent along with the teachers. The school is very clear and consistent in its mission and expectations. There's no guesswork and students know where they stand. We have found Gracenet, particularly well set-up and an invaluable tool for students to stay abreast of their schedule assignments, clubs, progress etc.

The school is culturally very warm with a lot of parent involvement yet provides high expectations and strong character development amongst the students. High school students commute from all over the city (all five boroughs) and New Jersey as well. It's a rich and diverse environment. Our son could not be happier.

#7 Best Christian High Schools in New York City Area
Niche User: I gave it 4 stars because the school tries very very hard to be the best they can be. The teachers care ab the students a lot! Some students actually have a good relationship with the teachers. It may not be the best school just because they don’t have all the money in the world like public schools. The teachers there sacrifice a lot to teach their. The atmosphere is very nice. Everyone is always trying to make friends and such. Groups are very welcoming at this school. They don’t have to many clubs at the moment but they r working on it, so it will get better. The academics are very very good there. Timothy isn’t perfect but no school is but it tries very hard to do everything for Christ!

Senior: I’ve been here for four years and it’s been fun. The teachers are great and are willing to help you become successful. They will work you to the bone so be prepared to work hard!

The school’s overall mission is to get into college. If you want a school that’s on your child’s back for college readiness this is it! Both teachers and the guidance office are happy to help you with choosing the college that’s right for you without any issues. I’ll miss this place and the relationships I developed the past four years.

#9 Best Christian High Schools in New York City Area
Parent: We wanted a school that represents our worldview most effectively - one in which the Gospel is of most importance, one that demands rigorous learning, one that presents all sides of issues while instilling a sound Biblical worldview, and one that equips their students with the skills necessary to compete and excel in life. We got all of the above with Grace Christian Academy and more! We would not send our kids anywhere else.

#12 Best Christian High Schools in New York City Area
Parent: When we send our children to school each day, we know they are surrounded by love, support and guidance from everyone they come across.Coming from years in public schools, I cannot begin to express the difference in the atmosphere and curriculum that ACS offers our kids.They are challenged every day in their education.The curriculum is demanding, but certainly rewarding as evidenced by their testing and college acceptance rates. The athletics program is fantastic!The clubs are limited only by what the kids are interested in.If a club does not exist, the kids are encouraged to help implement it.Most important is the manner in which the kids are encouraged to stand in their faith.Where else will you find kids running late to class because their voluntary Bible study went over because of someone needing prayer from their peers?I have seen some of the reviews complain about the facilities.What I care about is what happens inside those walls, not whether those walls need fresh paint!

Alum: I loved my middle school years at EC! I transferred from my public elementary school in the 6th grade and felt welcomed right away. The community is incredibly strong and there is always someone there to support the students and their families. I've since moved from the state but still stop by the campus to say hello to my old teachers and many of my classmates are still my friends today.

#14 Best Christian High Schools in New York City Area
Niche User: My nephew attended Calvary Academy and I can honestly say that they were instrumental in helping to mold and shape him into the man he is today. The teachers love their students and pour into their lives. They challenge them to strive for excellence and place a strong emphasis on character and on becoming who God has called you to be. When he went off to the University, he was well equipped and excelled in his studies. Many of his Freshmen friends struggled with all of the paper writing, but he had such a strong foundation in MLA writing format from his Calvary training and he thrived. I am thankful for Calvary and for their commitment to investing in future generations. This is a great school and worth every penny!

#15 Best Christian High Schools in New York City Area
Senior: I've attended this school since 1st Grade and it was an excellent experience. Dealing with what comes with a small school became something everyone had to deal with, but it had many advantages. The school definitely accomplishes its role as a Christian school because it gives a great education in biblical and spiritual areas. The only problem I really had was that the culture gets pretty negative in the older grades, but then again teenagers are teenagers.

Senior: Great school to go to, amazing staff and faculty. ICS is an amazing place to attend, there truly care about the students learning, and not just knowing the answers. Most Christian schools use only the book, and use the provided tests with the book. That's not the case for ICS, they make there own guides and tests so the students actually learn, and not just memorize the answers but understands the answers. The Principle is a great lady and her husband, who is the pastor, is an amazing, christian man who truly cares about God's will in his life, and the students life.

#18 Best Christian High Schools in New York City Area
Alum: Graduating from Bergen County Christian Academy (formerly Hackensack Christian Schools) has prepared me exceptionally for college! I am now studying at a 4-year college to earn a degree in Communications. Bergen Christian teachers are hardworking, dedicated, and loving instructors who will go out of their way to make sure all students understand every lesson. They will also give one on one instruction if needed. This, along with the incorporated Bible classes and emphasis on spiritual growth is what makes BCCA unique. The administration tirelessly works in order to provide a well-balanced and strong education and are constantly progressing the school for the future. I am extremely grateful that my parents sacrificially sent me to Bergen County Christian Academy from Pre-K through 12th grade!

Senior: As a student there for 4 years, what I have experienced so far is phenomenal. From the early days that I came to the United States as an international student, I've never felt being left out. When it comes to academic quality, I have to say that they provide everything you need to nail the regents and SAT. When it comes to the staffs, every teachers put in their greatest amount of effort to not only remember your name, but also help you any moment you struggle. I feel like I am part of a family, and that I can enjoy myself to the fullest here.

Parent: I have 2 boys in the school. The oldest is graduating. It takes a village to raise kids and that is what this school is for us . The oldest scored 1500 on SAT and 34 on ACT. Without amazing teachers this would not happen . The classes are small enough to give the maximum attention. Both boys have strived and I expect them to strive in whatever the do.

Senior: I came to Calvary in sixth grade, and it honestly has changed my life. In my almost seven years of being enrolled, I have grown closer to God and my fellow students, learning so much. I have always felt welcomed by both students and staff. Something we could improve upon would be having a janitorial staff working throughout the day, as well as possibly organizing school events better, with staff actively involved in students' lives. Although Calvary has done well in the latter portion thus far, maybe students uncomfortable with talking would be better handled with a formal staff member for this job in particular.

#25 Best Christian High Schools in New York City Area
Senior: Parsippany Christian School's academics are what I think they should be known for. I personally had trouble learning math in a public school. The curriculum Common Core was confusing but a PCS the math teachers are excellent and get straight to the point. As for the other classes they are just as excellent. This school is very diverse. Also an advantage is that since this school will be considered small-medium, as a student you have an advantage to work with the teacher one on one. As for things to change I believe this school should have a lot more activities and sports. As the teachers and students should have a more compassionate and loving spirit. Regard this academically I believe one will be ready for college.

Senior: This school has been welcoming. Overall, the teachers are encouraging and have a passion for the students that pushes me beyond my limits. The curriculum used was sophisticated enough for me to feel like I'm growing in knowledge each time I was taught. The school establishes a growth not only academically, but also spiritually. I've experienced a closer relationship to God because of all the chapels and guidance by the faculty. Though the school makes an amazing attempt at keeping the facilities up, there is still room for improvement. Other than that, I cannot think of anything else to change from this school.

Parent: Basis is the school I wish I had when I was a kid. We have two boys (7 and 5) attending Basis and they absolutely love it. If the kids are ever sick and have to miss days of school they beg to be able to go! The curriculum is demanding but I see the boys making fast progress and learning new things quickly. The school has a cross-disciplinary approach to learning. You might learn Mandarin in a language class, the history of China in another class, and learn about engineering by studying the Great Wall of China. Basis is amazing and staffed with bright, energetic teachers and all the parents we've met have been interesting, diverse, and involved. 5 stars in my book!

The extra 1:1 attention teachers provide to student learning is exceptional and the exposure to other students from around the world and the greater Boston area has been an invaluable experience. Given its small size, the environment fosters close friendships and an intimate school setting where children can thrive and be themselves. I would strongly recommend this school in heart beat!

I am very grateful to be part of this extraordinary community in which my family and I are surrounded by a great group of kind, caring and compassionate individuals. The nature of the relationships between students, teachers, administrators and parents are unlike any ordinary school. Atrium is much, much more than just a school.
The teachers are fantastic, the line of communication is consistent and clear, the head of the school is one of the most INCREDIBLE people your child will ever be blessed to know. Most importantly, the students are learning life skills and how to be great leaders who are kind, caring and compassionate. I would whole wholeheartedly recommend Atrium school to anyone looking for an extraordinary learning environment!
