Parent: My son chose George because of the diverse academics, the diverse community, and the recognition he would be treated as an individual. He is in 11th grade now and has thrived here. His teachers have celebrated his successes, worked with him 1:1 to support him through challenges, and he has made lifelong friends. He is more confident than ever before. As a parent, I appreciate the warmth of the community and the passion with which teachers teach. While it is still a year and a half away, I know my son will be ready for the next step in his educational journey!... Read 135 reviews

Parent: We have found a vibrant and supportive community at Germantown Academy. As a parent, I have been impressed with the faculty's ability to meet my children where they are by providing encouragement and support when necessary and challenge and rigor when appropriate. Focus is on critical thinking and analytical skills, working with others in groups and peer-review situations. Students are taught to advocate for themselves and contribute to the community. My children feel comfortable sharing their ideas and asking questions. In Upper School, teachers make time to meet with students on an individual basis, and this is encouraged. The school works hard to make families feel welcome, There are many ways to get involved, such as volunteering, social events, attending sports, community service opportunities, and educational speakers for parents....

Parent: Both of my sons started FSS in Pre K and they are now in Middle School. We LOVE FSS - the school is truly a second family to my whole family. The Community is so warm and welcoming - we feel lucky to be a part of it. The teachers and the administration care so much about each and every student. Kids thrive at FSS; school encourages their strengths and helps with their weaknesses, all while making students feel good about themselves and their learning process. Teachers are easily accessible to parents and students alike to discuss anything. Academics and arts are top notch, as well as the social and emotional care of all students. We also love how FSS takes full advantage of Philadelphia’s resources, whether it be its museums, Universities, parks or anywhere! I wish I could have been a student in this school environment!...

Parent: My daughter picked AFS for High School for its campus, culture and engaging community. She felt welcomed from the first time we visited thru her entire time so far even though her friends were going to school elsewhere. We couldn't be happier with our choice as our child is thriving academically as well as with her extracurricular activities. The student population is very diverse and her friends are spread out throughout Philadelphia, Bucks and Montgomery county. The school has additional learning opportunities outside the classroom, including those interested in the medical, business or law profession. A new athletics center with all of the amenities has recently opened. Our family loves being part of the AFS community!... Read 137 reviews

Senior: I am a graduate of VVA’s class of 2021! I can say with sincerity that Villa Victoria Academy is the perfect school for girls! It molds girls into strong, confident, and beautiful young women ready to change the world! The faculty and staff truly dedicate their time and efforts to make sure the girls have an amazing education, a real high school experience, touch into their spirituality and St. Lucy Filippini, the founder of the school. There are so many clubs to get involved in, multiple sports to participate in, and the beautiful music program! The girls there are so welcoming, supportive, and motivational. The parent involvement is incredible and I am amazed by how many alumni still visit the school and partake in the events going on at Villa. My four years there were fantastic and I already miss it! I will always have a place in my heart for VVA! #ittakesavilla... Read 77 reviews

Alum: An amazing school that will prepare you for whatever you want to achieve after. Small size makes it feel like a family and allows for each student to really personalize their experience at the school. Doane has incredible teachers who are intelligent, experienced in both teaching and the professional worlds, and have passion for their subjects. Many choices of clubs and sports. Lots of special traditions that go back generations. An overall amazing school that I would highly recommend to anyone!... Read 62 reviews

Parent: The administration and staff are outstanding. They put their heart and soul into this school. The focus is on continued improvement. The school’s motto says it all...Always more, always better, always with love. When looking for that match for our daughter, we wanted a place she could feel comfortable, grow, learn, be involved in activities and excel academically. Don’t hesitate. This is the place. Our daughter has come out of her shell, has tried activities and sports we didn’t think she would. She loves the community, the kids are friendly and nice, and they all look out for each other. When visiting other schools students were not as engaged with each other, they were on their devices. The Villa girls go out of their way to be inclusive and engage with each other in person! The school is cared for, and has state of the art performance center, and new steam facilities on the way, as well as a new film design studio. This school has the culture and character you want....

Sophomore: I love attending Nazareth. Teachers care about their students and have engaging topics in their classes. There's many clubs and sports and the girls that attend here have a great sense of school pride. The school real cares about our mental health and they prioritize us. A counselor is always available to a student throughout the day. I love the new block scheduling for students.It optimizes the students attention span and they include much needed breaks to avoid students to feel burn out.Class sizes are usually small and it leads to deeper connections between students and teachers.Food is great and staff is friendly.Art and Music is vital for our school community. The Music Department has played in the Vatican in Rome, and will traveled to Ireland in summer of 2022. The school is made up of girls from different classes and cultures and we are encouraged to celebrate other cultures. The school breeds strong, intellectual independent women, who are prepared for life after high school.... Read 167 reviews

Junior: I have been a student here for 3 years now, and I have had quite the experience with this school. The teachers here are supportive and kind-they really want you to succeed. The students here are like every other school, we have the popular kids and the loners. This school is overall amazing, though it has some underlying flaws. The diversity is not the best, which anyone can see. But in order to add more inclusion into our school, we have the SHADES club, which is a club for people of color, where they can celebrate their differences. Our school has many clubs, from a Journalism club, to a Magic the Gathering club! There is something for everyone at Notre Dame High School, and that it what makes it so truly amazing....

Senior: Holy Cross Preparatory Academy High School was my first high school choice because of its kind, helpful, supportive, well-educated teachers, facility, and staff along with its similarity to a college classroom experience and scheduling. The students' interactions among the teachers, facility, staff, and with each other are super special because everyone is so supportive of each other and helpful. We are family. When I arrive at Holy Cross each morning and leave each afternoon, I know I am in a safe and secure environment. Overall, being a Senior in fall 2021, I know I am going to have an amazing experience despite the rules and measures set in the school because of COVID-19. I like the block scheduling that Holy Cross has because you have only four classes at a time which brings less stress upon me. I have had such a great experience that I do not see the need for any changes!... Read 43 reviews

Niche User: This is a great high school. I'm an international student, who graduated from this high school. This school left a lot of impression for me, especially teachers who are very active in teaching and helping students. Besides, the school also organizes interesting outdoor activities for students. These outdoor activities help students more active and reduce stress. In school, teachers not only teach the knowledge in books but also apply and teach students about the lessons that God taught. Although ICHS is small, it always contains emotional frameworks between teachers and students, especially between children and the almighty father (God).... Read 21 reviews

Senior: Calvary Christian Academy is the perfect school choice for my family because the teachers there recognize the importance of helping students reach their full potential in all areas. Because Calvary is a smaller school, students can get the attention they need. Teachers at Calvary are always around to tutor, encourage and challenge students in the best way possible! Students at Calvary have the opportunity to pursue their interests and passions when it comes to different subjects, clubs, and sports. Calvary offers a wide variety of classes, ranging from College Prep English to Advanced Placement Biology. Also available are activities such as Robotics, Jazz Band, choir and drama. In addition, students have the opportunity to participate in sports such as soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, track and field, cross-country, and tennis. If you are looking for a school that values the importance of preparing their students for college and beyond, Calvary may be the right school for you!... Read 118 reviews

Niche User: If I had known about Life Center Academy sooner, both of our kids would have attended it instead of another "Christian" school. The administration and staff really treat it as a ministry so the Jesus factor is tenfold any other school we encountered since moving to South Jersey. The teachers are amazing in their care for the students and not just academically, they go way out of their way to help the kids. The sports facilities are the best in SJ and the coaches are all men and women of God, not just coaches. We love everything we have seen so far at LCA and highly recommend anyone considering a Christian education for their kids to look at LCA first! We wish we had!... Read 34 reviews

Senior: I love all aspects about Roman Catholic High School, this school is a extremely diverse school it is also very welcoming. This school has expanded over the years and will continue to expand drastically over the next few years. These new expansions will bring new areas for students too explore and will withhold new classrooms and even a gym! The only problem i have with Roman Catholic High School is the lunch that is served during lunch. The lunch is expensive and it does not taste good. When choosing a food to eat there's no variety to choose from its just basic American cuisine that is served there. In conclusion Roman Catholic High School is a very good school and deserves the title to be the first ever Catholic High School in America.... Read 106 reviews

Alum: I attended Ryan for my senior year only and wished the entire time I came my freshman year so I could get the full experience. The school itself holds so much character and all the administration do their best to make the students feel accepted and happy. I say every school has room to improve and among renovating the locker rooms and adding a track to the back (which are in the process of being done!) the biggest problem I had was the condition the bathrooms went through with many crazy students, but other than that Id say the school is a 10/10! I recommend this school to not only those of catholic faith but to anyone looking for a decent school with an inviting atmosphere!... Read 260 reviews

Senior: Saint Hubert Catholic High School for Girls is the best school ever! I have never loved a school more than this. We have a unique sisterhood because this is an all-girls school. This is a trait that stands out because it reduces the amount of judgment we feel every day, and we are always there for one another. I have found my best friends at this school, and I never thought I could feel so comfortable and safe with someone. We have the best teachers who always make sure we are learning, but also that we are having fun. I have been provided with the opportunity of pursuing my passion of Track and Field here, and I feel ready for college now. We have so many ways to get involved and find new ways of self-expression. There is a great focus on spirituality, service, academics, and integrity. Saint Hubert has prepared me for life beyond high school, and I believe it is the best foundation possible. We are the best school, and I will be so upset to be leaving my second home next year.... Read 388 reviews

I value my experience as a student, which helped to shape me into the person I am today. I learned here that your character is invaluable, I have always strived for excellence in my endeavors, and committed to living the values instilled in me at CEC.

Alum: My experience at Archbishop Wood was overall a great experience. The culture at the school is my favorite part of the school. There is more economic diversity at this school than most of the other PCL schools in the area, and it contributes to a less stuck-up culture, in comparison to La Salle and Prep. There is a sense of grit within the student body and I love it, the school definitely acts on this competitiveness through their athletics. I was a member of the Football Team and over 10 extracurriculars at the school. If you seek it out, there is something for you at this school, trust me. The new counseling department and the curriculum prepared me for college, I am enrolled at a nationally-ranked Liberal Arts College and I have to thank Wood part of my success. You don't realize till you leave how much you will miss a place, and I truly feel this with Wood. The academics are solid, athletics great, people are down-to-earth, faculty care, and the culture is just awesome. ROLL VIKES!... Read 168 reviews

Junior: I am a junior (about to be a Senior) at Father Judge High School. I would give my time at Father Judge a 4.5/5 stars. During this year, it was a mostly positive experience. In terms of classes, teachers, students, and clubs, it feels perfect. While the school doesn't accommodate all majors, it prepares me for the next level in my nursing career. The students are friendly, the teachers are very helpful and sincere, and the classes are interesting to me. Even though the school size is small, the amount of clubs and sports they have is great. My only complaint is the food can be very inconsistent at times but going to Father Judge is well worth the tuition. They helped me decide what I truly wanted to be and help you to prepare for the next level whether it's college, trade school, or military.... Read 133 reviews

Senior: Urban Promise Academy offers a very hands on approach to education that allows you to learn but also allows you to work at your own pace. classroom sizes range from 10 to 12 students which enables teachers to give you one on one help.The Staff is very diverse with every teacher coming from a different background and their own advice and life lessons. The only change I would make is the food. While it isn't inedible, there is no joy of eating lunch or excitement because the food is mostly the same. All in all, UPA is an amazing school I've had the privilege to attend.... Read 15 reviews
