The Brook Hill School

• Private School
• Bullard, TX
• PK, K-12
• 38 reviews

Parent: Brook Hill is an extraordinary, personal and relational school that works hard to champion leaders that love to learn. I have 3 boys who are all very different and each of them are thriving. Brook Hill is paving the way among leadership development and many other programs. From a world class smith simian quality teaching museum, amazing Entrepreneurship program, top performing robotics and ethics bowl teams to coaches who have their priorities in the right order to the strongest arts programs in the area, Brook Hill blows me away. Academically, Brook Hill can’t be beat. My students excel and you can’t find another school that teaches Classical humanities like they do while lacking nothing in other areas. Caring, highly qualified teachers with real world experience to bring to the classroom that are dedicated to my boys. I could go on forever. We are so blessed to have chosen Brook Hill!

All Saints Episcopal School

• Private School
• Tyler, TX
• PK, K-12
• 46 reviews

Parent: Our family relocated to Tyler from another state. Actually, this is our 7th relocation and 4th state! I am a pro at researching new towns, schools, neighborhoods, etc...with our life I have to be! I lined up tours at a few private schools in Tyler and it turned out that our tour at All Saints was first. The second our family drove through the security gate, onto the majestic campus, and entered through the front door we KNEW we were exactly where we were supposed to be. We were home and that felt indescribably good. Now that we are a “seasoned” All Saints family, I look back on that initial visit and our first impression and I am in awe that our actual experience at the school has surpassed any expectations we had. I can’t believe how much my children have grown spiritually, emotionally and academically. They are happy, healthy, and thriving and I give All Saints the credit. It’s a great day to be a TROJAN!

Grace Community School

• Private School
• Tyler, TX
• PK, K-12
• 80 reviews

Parent: We are finishing up our second year at Grace and could not be more pleased with our children’s education. We have a freshman and a sixth grader this year and moved them from public school to Grace last year. We were worried about their transition as their test scores were below average. However each year they had teachers that cared about their progress and helped them in every way humanly possible to catch them up. They are both now A/B honor roll students and I cannot give their teachers enough credit. You can tell that they love their job and truly care about the success of their students. Both of our children have also flourished in extra curricular activities and are actually enjoying school! I never thought my 15 yr old would ever like school, but he actually looks forward to going and I don’t have to drag him out of bed! Huge win! It is everything we could have hoped for and so much more!

Parent: As a parent, I can sign into a digital portal and track grades, assignments, tests and more. The school is active on social media and with a digital messaging system that allows important information to be shared quickly. The staff are very interactive and send information home with tracked and signed folder systems for the most part. They also use social apps to send class messages, announcements, activity photos, and reminders. The entire campus joins in together in the morning for Jump Start, which is a brain gym program designed to encourage learning, social interaction and positive behavior. They celebrate birthdays, achievements and awards together as a campus. It is a phenomenal network of support and learning.
