2020 Best Private Schools in New London CountyAbout this List

The Williams School

• Private School
• New London, CT
• 6-12
• 30 reviews

Alum: I attended Williams in the 80s and, 30 years later, am thankful for the experience. Becasue of the low student to teacher ratio you had to be involved, you couldn't be a wallflower and, as a result, you were constantly pushed to stretch your limits. When I got to college the professors were impressed by my analytic reading, writing, and verbal skills. And today I attribute much of my success to the caring and engaged teachers and staff, some of whom I am still in contact. Highly recommend.

Saint Bernard School

• Private School
• Uncasville, CT
• 6-12
• 66 reviews

Alum: The school really does build a family setting within its walls! It is small enough for you to know and befriend your entire class. I met my best friends in this school and they remain my best friends throughout college - SBS makes lasting frienships with respectable people. Not only that, but the academics are off the charts and the lovely teachers are ALWAYS willing to help!

St. Thomas More School

• Private School
• Oakdale, CT
• 9-12
• 2 reviews

Parent: I cannot say enough good things about this school. STM takes its mission to help boys achieve their potential seriously. My son--your classic "underachiever" and "late bloomer" --matriculated seamlessly mid-year. The significant academic support provided gave him the structure he needed to achieve the grades of which we knew he was capable. We received constant, constructive and detailed input from the teachers. And my son still waxes poetic about the food . . .

Norwich Free Academy

• Norwich, CT
• 9-12

Senior: Norwich Free Academy is one of the few schools in the United States that have its own museum on campus (Slater Memorial Museum). NFA's campus is not like a regular high school, it consists of 8 buildings allowing students to experience with a college like campus to prepare them for higher levels of education. The number of extracurricular activities it offers gives students countless opportunities to succeed and build their resume, the career resource center allows students to explore in desirable careers and many possible opportunities.

Baptist Bible Academy

• Private School
• Waterford, CT
• K-12
• 4 reviews

High School Senior: Because the average class size is three people, students from all grades become close, almost like family. The small size enables more student teacher interaction, and the teachers always make time to help the students if need be. Everyone is friendly and caring. However, the small number of students also makes the amount of possible extracurricular programs limited (ex: a soccer team that needs 11 players).

Pine Point School

• Private School
• Stonington, CT
• PK, K-9
• 2 reviews

Alum: This school has very good academics. The music and arts programs are superb, and it is a safe school. Prepares students well for high school, many Pine Pointers go on to top boarding schools and colleges. It goes up to 9th grade, which is inconvenient for most, but those who stay go on field trips to Hawaii and Martha's Vineyard and go out on a boat searching for organisms in the nearby ocean every week. The sports teams are ok, and it is worth mentioning that the school lacks a cafeteria. The tuition is high, but it is worth sending your child for a couple years if you can afford it.
