Junior: York Country Day School is a phenomenal school! By having the opportunity to take college classes as juniors/seniors and having an AMAZING college counselor to help with the college process, YCDS is great at prepping their students! The only thing that the school lacks is diversity but, it is such a welcoming environment!... Read 28 reviews

Alum: From Kindergarten to my senior year, Logos gave me a truly wonderful experience. The entire place is like a second home to me! I learned things I'm certain I would've never learned in public school, the teachers always cared about me as a person, and the opportunities given (and taken!) while I was there were astounding....

Parent: If you are searching for a school that provides each student with a top college level education and also provides an environment that promotes service, morals, Catholic values, and a faculty that welcomes your family with open arms.. YC is that school! As an alumni and current parent of a senior , what YC provided myself and our son wasn’t just a building made of bricks but a family of educators, staff, coaches, and administrators who reminded us that each student is an individual and special to the school. It is truly a family, people that show constant support, compassion, and love of teaching! You will NEVER regret the investment in a YC education. You only have one opportunity with your child’s education make it one that will put your child on the road to success as a student, athlete, and child of God. The people at YC are what make it such a strong place of value!... Read 120 reviews

Senior: Had a great experience with CSY! The teachers are so truthfully in it for the ministry and for the students. Additionally, the environment is a much better improvement than most public schools. Education is high quality, and student life is a strength. The school’s mission is centered towards Jesus and His Word. Much is invested in athletics, and many students can and do participate in tryout-free teams. The music department doesn’t receive as much attention, but the teachers work hard to present beautiful music even with little numbers.... Read 29 reviews

Alum: A fantastic experience that beyond prepared me for college. The teachers were very supportive and gave each student a 1-on-1 experience due to small class sizes. If a class was not available in person, Virtual High School allowed me to take them. I was able to take several classes that interested me and shape my high school experience to be what I wanted due to flexibility. The Catholic education has served as a pillar for me in my faith journey even after high school. Everyone is close-knit but very welcoming! The athletics also prepared me for and have allowed me to continue my career in college. I would absolutely recommend Delone Catholic! Go squires!!... Read 139 reviews

Senior: It’s a great private Christian School with highly involved teachers that are very dedicated to their jobs. Unfortunately, there are no school clubs due to the small size of the school. However, the small size is good for forming close bonds with classmates and teachers alike, and for one-on-one work with the teachers before, during, and after school. It’s a wonderful school for those who want or need more help with class work!... Read 17 reviews

Parent: I have had a daughter recently finish St. Rose and move on after 7 years of attending and now have a son in 4th grade. St. Rose is a family. I never worry about them when they are at school because I know they are taken care of like they would if they were home with me. The staff is amazing and so caring. They all know each by name, not just those they work with on a regular basis. The other families share our ethical beliefs. We have made amazing friends and a wonderful support system by being part of the St. Rose family!... Read 8 reviews

Parent: I couldn’t be happier with such an amazing school for my kids. Teachers are so well prepared, caring and demand the best for our children. HT is the most diversed catholic school in York like no other and treats all kids with respect in a very safe environment. It was one of the very few schools that did such a great job since the first days of the pandemic lockdown. They have the best healthy food choices, great music program and several after school activities. We are so blessed to be part of this institution. Kids learn a great sense of community service too. After 8 years of being part of this family I can’t ask for more.... Read 2 reviews

Parent: My son attends PreK-3 at Shrewsbury Christian Academy, and we have been so blessed by how the teachers love and support him. SCA truly is like a family! The teachers are excited to see the kids each morning, and they make learning exciting and enjoyable for the students. SCA offers students a Christ-centered, family environment where they can explore, learn, and grow.... Read 3 reviews

Alum: The school was definitely a smaller school, but the experience was impacting to my life. My graduating class was a graduating class of eight, and we all were like family. We were able to get more one-on-one time with our teachers to help us understand the material better of what we were learning, and the teachers poured into us and cared about us as individuals. The school would be perfect for those who like smaller classes, and to have more individual help from the teachers. This is a wonderful school for students to be changed and impacted in incredible ways.... Read 1 review

Parent: Our kids in grades 7 and 9 now transferred from another Christian school and they love it at LCS. They picked up the PACE system quickly and are thriving quite well. It a great small school that's growing rapidly. We were having a lot of issues with bad kids in the previous school (and also bad teachers/staff), even though it was a fundamental Christian school, the kids in this school are much more friendly and welcoming and the teachers are all excellent! We definitely recommend LCS, they will only continue to get better as the school grows and can start to offer more programs.... Read 3 reviews
