Tower Hill School

• Private School
• Wilmington, DE
• PK, K-12
• 29

Parent: Overall a more challenging school academically then the other private day schools in Delaware. Students are competitive but kind. Atmosphere is fair with a strong emphasis on students taking full responsibility for their academics, sports and creative endeavors. My son was at another private school in the area for K-8 and moved to THS in 9th grade. He has to work harder academically but he couldn't be happier. College prep starts in 8th and 9th grade. There are many clubs and opportunities for students to lead or try new things. Faculty is top notch. Most of my sons teachers have taught at the college level and some have PhD's. Great facilities for sports, drama and the sciences too.

Archmere Academy

• Private School
• Claymont, DE
• 9-12
• 102

Junior: The designated curriculum Archmere has created will not only help me be prepared for college, but succeed in college as well. Most teachers at Archmere are oblivious to the amount of work we put in and like to think that their class is the only class in the world, so they assign ridiculous amounts of homework. The social situation at Archmere is very well contained and Archmere, in my eyes, is considered the model for an "ideal high school". Since the school is so small, word travels fast and it's hard to avoid people you don't like. Also, the school spirit is really lacking compared to other schools and the administration does not realize that. Lastly, since the curriculum Archmere bestows on us is so rigorous, it makes the students very invested in their grades (and other people's, too). In AP classes, it's hard to escape the ridicule of others for performing poorly on a test, which is pretty lame. I wish Archmere did a better job of making sure test grades were kept private.

Caravel Academy

• Private School
• Townsend, DE
• PK, K-12
• 74

Senior: Overall, my experience at Caravel was very academically valuable. Attending this school since kindergarten and now being a senior in high school, I must confess that I am very well prepared for college; hence the fact that I have 12 credits prior to graduation. On the flip-side, social life here is only beneficial when you're apart of a certain clique. It is quite surprising that after 13 years of attending this school, I do not anticipate staying in contact with any of my peers for longer than a year after graduation. Other than that, being a student at Caravel for so long has been a splendid experience considering all of the knowledge that I have gained.

Parent: I feel so fortunate that my children were able to attend WFS. It has been a transformative experience. Yes, the education was exceptional, but the community is amazing. The staff connects with the students, offers them opportunities, and encourages them to become their best selves! Especially in these times, I think it's so important to have an education grounded in values and I can't think of any better philosophy than one of "that of God in everyone."

Parent: Sanford School has been the perfect choice for my children. The school has a strong sense of community; it's like a family. The school's leadership is outstanding and has been continually improving the program, the faculty and the facilities, including the recently constructed and much needed performing arts facility. The teachers are outstanding and are really invested in the student's success. The sports team coaches have helped my kids succeed on the field, and the school's teams overall have enjoyed great successes of late. Our family has been extremely satisfied with our experience. Sanford is a gem!

Salesianum School

• Private School

Junior: Salesianum is a great experience. The things you learn and are taught and the relationships you make will carry on with you far after graduation. The academics alone and teachers are amazing with teachers being passionate, involved, and want to see you succeed. Beyond academics, the sports program at Salesianum is phenomenal. The multitude of sports offered is amazing, all of which have amazing coaches and an amazing record, with over 150 state championships overall. The brotherhood is unlike anything I've ever witnessed. The community of Salesianum including alumni and current students and staff is so strong and inclusive and supportive. No matter who you are, there are not really any cliches and everyone is apart of the Salesianum community and legacy. The values the school instills in you will always stay with you and have made me a better person. They could really have better fries at lunch though.

Ursuline Academy

Niche User: Ursuline Academy is an amazing school. I truly believe that an all-girls education is worth the tuition of UA. The academics are well balanced and prepare you for college life. The counselors at UA always make sure you are where you need to be and that you have the materials you need to be successful. The teachers are alright. Once in a while you may get a teacher who isn't the greatest, but overall the teachers are amazing and by the time you graduate they become like friends. The sisterhood at UA is the greatest thing about the school. You really feel like all the girls here are your sisters. There is some diversity at the school, but I feel like there should be more.

Tall Oaks has great academics, and has the second highest SAT scores in the state while also being one of the least expensive private schools. They also have many sports and extracurricular activities.

Senior: I loved my experience at Saint Mark’s High School. The academic curriculum was very challenging and did an excellent job at preparing me for further education. I have made many lifelong friends at Saint Mark’s. With any school, there will be teachers that you absolutely love, and teachers that aren’t your favorite. I have grown in my athletic, academic, and social skill level at Saint Mark’s. I would change the lunch options - although there are tasty dishes, I wish there was more healthy food options other than the one salad bar. I would also update the bathroom facilities. Overall, I would recommend Saint Mark’s to anyone looking to attend.

Padua Academy

• Private School

Parent: Padua Academy has done an outstanding job of transforming girls into confident, faith based young women, who are well prepared for the rigors of college life. From day one as a Freshman, Padua starts the college process in their students by instilling the three S's, which are, Scholarship, Sisterhood and Service. The girls are both guided and challenged throughout their 4 years; academically and through the actions of their faith by the initiation of community service, and various service projects that extend beyond the boarders of the United States. Padua Academy also provides international student studies, which allows for a multicultural and global diversity of learning both in and out of the classroom. Although Padua Academy is a little bit of a financial sacrifice from a parent prospective. The end result you will see in your dauther, is priceless!

We are so grateful we found WCS and look forward to the years to come.

Red Lion offers all that I expected by way of a Christian education by incorporating Christ in all of the classes and the culture. I am pleased with the academics at RLCA. My only concern is the diversity of the staff at the school. Although the faculty and staff are great people, it is not very diverse.

Saint Thomas More Academy

• Private School
• Magnolia, DE
• 9-12

Senior: I really enjoyed going to STMA. The small size of the student body is its trademark as that is what allows for the tight knit community, small class sizes, ability to be a part (and take an active role in) multiple programs and organizations within the school. . But, there in lies its faults. Although the environment is conducive to making you academically prepared for college, students lack in some of the experiences that their peers may have in other schools. Programs are fueled by interest, so as interest falls, sports teams and clubs may be discontinued year to year. Overall, I would definitely choose STMA again because of the education I had and the relationship with my classmates, but I do wish some parts about the school were different.

The things that speaks most about this school the small community, because of this we become almost family with each other. The new thing that spoke out to me was the teachers. Not only are the teachers willing to help the students, but they remember you! After my first class, the teacher already had a class room of names memorized.

I attended DCHS all four years and graduated Salutatorian out of a class of 42, but don't let the small class size discourage you—this school has intimate lessons built for students who want to learn! And believe me, the school lives up to its academic profile by thoroughly preparing teens for college.
