Keystone School

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• PK, K-12
• 51 reviews

Junior: I am entering my senior year and there is no other high school I would rather be than Keystone. The motto of "academic excellence" is embodied by every aspect of Keystone, with dedicated students and useful teachers determined to learn in the best way possible. More than anything else, my Keystone education has taught me to be a free thinker while still respecting others, allowing me to form my own opinions and look at situations objectively. While the school is inherently challenging, the overall experience is definitely worth it, preparing young adults not only for college but also giving them the tools to be successful and caring members of society.

Saint Mary's Hall

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• PK, K-12
• 57 reviews

Parent: My experience with Saint Mary’s Hall has been nothing but exemplary. We started in Montessori. My children are now in 4th and 7th grades. Academics are rigorous and challenging as I feel they should be. The students are given opportunities to choose from either fine arts and sports for their extra curricular activities. My children have participated and enjoyed being part both. Smaller class sizes, ample opportunities to excel, attention they get from faculty and staff are just few of the reasons why we love Saint Mary’s Hall. If you are looking at private schools for your children and you want one that is well rounded and challenging, then Saint Mary’s Hall will be an excellent choice!

The Christian School at Castle Hills

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• PK, K-12
• 100 reviews

Senior: The education was worth every penny. The material we covered prepares me for not only college, but also understanding and making decisions in our overly complicated times.

The sports have led to my personal growth and reaching dreams. My athletic director has been behind me and always believed in me.

The coaches, teachers , leaders and administration are great, and our small classes really allows for individual attention when needed.

We have small but close classes. The camps, mission trips, sports, spirit days, and so many weekends with my friends are some of the things I will forever miss.


Although no place is perfect, I can’t imagine attending school anywhere else but here. Just come shadow for a day and see if you

The students here are welcoming, friendly, and are there for those who feel stressed out (especially around finals time). It is a small school which is nice if you are interested in a school where the teachers are able to remember everyone’s name. Overall, it’s a pretty good school.

Incarnate Word High School

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• 9-12
• 188 reviews

Senior: I absolutely cherish the memories I have made in this high school and it honestly wouldn't have been possible without my participation in clubs including robotics, theater, sewing, media arts, american sign language, american red cross, international club, etc. Being apart of so many clubs, really impacted who I am as an individual. And no one stops you from doing the things that you want to do, which I will forever be grateful for. One thing I always take for granted is my math and science teachers, they know how to really teach and help when you need it. No teacher will leave you behind.

All of the problems presented in the other reviews have been taken care of as they were from earlier years. Do not hesitate to send your child here. They will not only receive an amazing education but will also grow in their knowledge of the Lord and how to apply their biblical beliefs to the real world. I have gone to this school for years, and from personal experience, your child will absolutely flourish here.

Holy Cross of San Antonio

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• 6-12
• 78 reviews

Senior: Choosing to attend Holy Cross has probably been one of the best decisions I've ever made. The teachers have been very helpful throughout the years and I am very thankful for each and every one of them. I simply feel that every time I leave my house every morning, I arrive at my second home once I get to school. Holy Cross exceeds in education and in my opinion has no rival in the values it offers of family and tradition. I have learned some of life's greatest lessons here and truly believe it made me the man I am today. When I am asked what school I attend, I proudly say I will soon be a graduate of Holy Cross. It is a school of family and pride, and that is something any current student and alumni will also tell you.
