Parent: I have 2 children at Morgan Park Academy in the Early Childhood program and we love it! My kids are engaged and challenged academically and are taught about kindness in a world that seems to have forgotten about it. I love that my children could sing and count in French, Spanish, and Mandarin from the age of 3. The teachers truly care about the students and work hard to make it a great learning environment. Morgan Park Academy is a small school but an awesome community.... Read 123 reviews

Senior: Couldn't ask for a better high school experience. Every single teacher I had was extremely patient, enthusiastic, and overall just willing to work with the class. I know I can't speak for everyone, but this was at least my experience. Faith life is also very good, especially having the experience to go on Kairos and to school masses. The introduction to community period really helped me to stay a little more on top of my work, definitely helping with stress levels. Honestly, campus is extremely easy to navigate after a few days and although it isn't top tier facilities, everything gets the job done. I've been able to notice subtle improvements across the whole school throughout the time I've been there, so I know there are always going to be small improvements here and there to keep everything rolling smooth....

Junior: Overall, St. Laurence has been the best choice I have ever made. The teachers and faculty are so welcoming and friendly. Extracurriculars and special events are always fun, bringing in that school cheer! Everyone is very supportive and there is never a worry that comes to mind when preparing for college or other exams. St. Laurence not only challenges students, but also incorporates team work and the ability to expand on new ideas. I enjoy working with my fellow classmates and creating new memories at St. Laurence. Accessing help and other resources has never been an issue. St. Laurence is the perfect example of “becoming a leader.”... Read 312 reviews

Senior: Marist High School has taught me a lot and really prepared me for college. I have met so many amazing people at Marist, students and teachers. I have formed unforgettable friendships and had so many good times at all of the events Marist has. But, Marist can also be very overwhelming with homework and the rigorous classes. Some teachers can be hard to work with, but mostly I have had great experiences. The best teachers are the ones that you know truly care about you and are there for you, whether you are having problems inside or outside of school. Teachers that take time out of their classes to ask their students how they are truly feeling make the most difference in our lives.... Read 465 reviews

Parent: Providence Catholic High School has excellent academics; their students significantly exceed the state averages in all of the standardized test scores. Their student to teacher ratio is 14:1, so every child receives an abundance of guidance and care. But it is the wonderful, loving atmosphere of this school that makes it truly amazing! There are no cliques; the students are so kind and supportive of each other. It seems too good to be true, until you meet the President of the school, Father John Merkelis. That's when you realize how lucky your child will be to attend Providence Catholic. Father "Merk" is a genuine disciple of Christ. The entire culture of his school is a reflection of this humble, exceptional servant of God.... Read 184 reviews

Senior: Brother Rice is a very good school that has an extremely welcoming environment. Their academics are top notch and the staff are nice people who are always willing to go the extra mile when it comes to education. Brother Rice encourages its students to go above and beyond what is required of them, and they do a great job of preparing their students for college. Beyond that, Brother Rice teaches its student body how to get ready for life outside of school by instilling a strong work ethic and positive attitude into them.... Read 183 reviews

Alum: Such a wonderful environment! Everyday I went to school it was so clear that the teachers truly cared for the learning and growth of each of their students. I gained so much academically, socially, and spiritually by attending. There is no doubt that my experience at Aqsa has truly shaped me in a way I couldn't be more happy with.... Read 34 reviews

Senior: For a home school student, American School was the best option for me. They send you textbooks, workbooks, test booklets, and provide a plethora of help websites and reviews online. The teachers are quick to respond to emails and calls, and leave helpful notes on tests. Awesome school!... Read 30 reviews
