Parent: Amazing! Highest regards academically! A true family. Loyal to caring about your child like you do! Not an ounce of bullying occurs at this school. Students genuinely CARE about each other, no matter the grade. The grade doesn't matter to the students. They become a family. There is a good feeling at Prout. A feeling of family. A feeling that each student matters. Mary Hoyt is by far the best staff member of that school. She has every box checked for the student that needs help and guidance and prep for college. There is a positive vibe for students. They want to be there each day. My son had the opportunity to do online and he preferred to be present at Prout! Prout stands alone as one of the best secondary education opportunities in RI. Hands down. There is no judgement financially either which is also seen amongst students. Your economic back round is not a prerequisite for friendships which I have seen in other schools. Excellent referral. Hands down.... Read 151 reviews

Parent: Our daughter attended Quest for her 4th grade year. My husband and I wanted the best possible education for our daughter, and found it at Quest. The administration process was deliberate and thoughtful, both the Head of School and the classroom teachers seemed to offered specialized attention to our daughter during her classroom visit. Throughout the year, our daughter made gains academically and emotionally. She enjoyed her work at school. Meaghan and Cressida were phenomenal! The were able to identify and support areas of weakness and build on strengths in a nurturing and loving way. I was especially impressed with the school's and teacher's adaptation to virtual learning during the Pandemic. The entire school rallied to continue to support the children and families during isolation. We will miss everyone from this school terribly. I cannot recommend this school and its staff highly enough.... Read 14 reviews

Parent: When choosing a school for our daughter, we wanted a place she could have a solid faith-based education; a place for her to establish roots. Monsignor Clarke did not only give her roots, it gave her wings to blossom and grow into an independent, strong young woman. The teachers challenge, yet maintain individual relationships; and we feel the integrated curriculum is preparing our daughter for high school. The school administration and staff has always been responsive and accessible to our concerns. The many and diverse clubs/sports have helped her establish friendships and new interests. We recommend Monsignor Clark highly.... Read 18 reviews

Junior: Great University! Tons of things to do on campus. Lots of different places to eat. Friendly staff and people around. Bussing to get from further away buildings. Parking for those who qualify. Then there is the football and basketball games. Also, they have concerts from time to time.... Read 21 reviews

Alum: I truly enjoyed my time at Pine Point, and I feel that it struck a perfect balance between pursuing learning for the sake of learning and preparing students well for future academics. I felt able to explore different academic subjects during my time there, and I felt that my writing and communication skills with teachers and class discussion abilities all improved far more than at another institution. It still feels like an important part of my life, even after several years.... Read 7 reviews

Parent: This education both nurtured our children and prepared them for the rigor of high school. Their days were spend in classrooms with teachers who really knew them and were role models for life long learning. The curriculum was challenging, experiential and reflected the complexity and beauty of the world. And everyday they went outside to play and explore! A great choice for our family....

Parent: I don' t know where to begin! This program is exceptional! We were so afraid to bring our child back to daycare during this covid scare but we had to work. The teachers at the Stork's Nest are so diligent about their Covid policies that I am not sure why we worried at all. They are always wearing their masks, my child is picked up and dropped off at the door, and the communication between myself and the teacher is constant. They have been honest about any suspected cases and careful to always air on the side of caution if a staff member is not feeling well and has them go home and be tested. They follow all regulations put forth by the CDC. Aside from doing all that, they still teach and love my child every day. They send home pictures so I can see the classroom and what my baby is doing. They have gone above and beyond. I am so grateful for this program and hope to be with them for years to come!...
