Parent: Fantastic school! If your child is gifted or needs extra attention this is the school to be at. It’s ranked number one in Connecticut for a reason. I’m not sure what value private schools could offer that this public school couldn’t, especially at this age level.... Read 4 reviews

Alum: I went to Faith Prep several years ago. As I reflect on my experience there, I must say the school has undoubtedly prepared me for college, graduate school, and the "real-world." The curriculum is taught from a Christian perspective, which is significantly better than the general education taught at public schools. To this day, I still talk to my classmates, and each of us still recall the fun times we had there. If you're looking for a great place to send your son or daughter, I highly recommend Faith Prep. Class of 2011! Go Bulldogs!... Read 30 reviews

Alum: CCS was a great experience for me! I was involved in the Musicals, sport, chorus, and band and took advantage of many of the afterschool extracurricular activities. One of my favorite aspects of CCS is how much it immerses its students into the broader community. By inviting community members into the school as guests and even going so far as finding each 8th-grade student a community mentor in a field they think is interesting. CCS has done a lot for me and helped me grow as an individual. I am in college presently, and surprisingly enough, I still benefit from things I've learned and people I met while at CCS. Being a relatively small school, CCS also helped me create excellent peer relationships. Although we have all gone our separate ways, I am still incredibly close with many of my former peers from CCS.... Read 3 reviews

Parent: I love this school because it gets the kids OUT of the classroom frequently. They'll study technology and velocity at a local ski slope, or learn about tapping maple syrup at a nearby agricultural community. Their technology at the school is top notch and you can't beat the teacher-to-student ratio (never more than 1:10). I also love the emphasis on community, responsibility, and personal integrity. It's such a small school that you can truly say that no kid slips through the cracks.... Read 4 reviews

Parent: My daughter switched from public schools to Torrington Christian Academy and in a few short months the difference is amazing! Her anxiety related to going to school is gone and she has learned so much in such a short period of time. Every person we have encountered is caring and loving and so supportive in every way possible. Highly recommended! Truly a blessing to have her attend a school where I know she is safe and loved, as well as where her faith and good morales are supported.... Read 30 reviews

Parent: Hotchkiss made a very generous financial aid offer that make selecting it a no brainer - so don't let the sticker price dissuade you from applying! Our "lower-mid" (10th grade) child has had a fantastic experience in her first few months, despite the Covid lockdowns. Of course the resources are fantastic, but what has especially impressed us as parents is the personal attention for our child from each of her teachers and deans. Go Bearcats!... Read 83 reviews

Senior: This is truly an amazing school. I value the relationship between my teachers and me. It is obvious they love what they do and want every student to succeed. Also, I know Academy has prepared me for college - the work load, albeit difficult, is manageable. Additionally, the sports facilites are incredible; I do not know many schools that have their own pool attached. That being said, I would like to see more attention given to the fine arts department. There are so many hidden artists in my grade that I did not know about until taking Studio Art. Finally, recognizing the minorities in the community, Norfolk Academy has taken steps to make their campus more inclusive this year. Overall, I have loved my high school experience at NA and highly recommend this school to students striving to make the most of their education.... Read 143 reviews
