Parent: My son started at Ranney this fall and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. We feel so fortunate that our son has teachers who challenge him, recognize his potential, and help him to be the best version of himself every day. While the academics are incredibly strong, administrators/staff focus on the social-emotional learning as well. Kindness, empathy, and respect are woven into the fabric of the Ranney culture and are actively modeled by administrators and staff. Perhaps the most important gift that Ranney has given our son is happiness. He wakes up every morning excited to go to school. He comes home and excitedly talks about his day, his learnings, and his peers. It is the greatest feeling to know that your child not only feels connected to his school community, but is also valued for who he is within that community. We are so thankful that we made the decision to send our son to Ranney and are thrilled that our youngest son will be attending next year as well!... Read 35 reviews

Sophomore: I love this school so so so much. I could not be happier attending any other school. I really feel like the community makes it easy to feel heard and respected by my classmates. I love my teachers, classmates, advisors, coaches, etc. I also really like the sports culture. I have not played with girls as respectful, uplifting, and motivated as the girls playing on the sports teams at Trinity Hall. I also feel that I've found a passion for learning upon my admission at this school. I am so grateful for all my teachers, and the uplifting and encouraging environment they create for every girl at my school.... Read 23 reviews

Senior: When I transferred to Red Bank Catholic early my sophomore year, I had not idea what to expect. The school was far from home, and I didn't know anybody I'd be attending with; I was basically starting fresh. Despite my uncertainty, it became clear very quickly that RBC is the place where I belonged. Coming from a public high school meant a steep reduction in class size, which made the process of getting to know people far less daunting. As a private school, RBC has student come from all over, so a culture of welcoming and accommodation was more than prevalent. The robust athletic programs made finding my place much easier; definitely a school for athletes, joining a team at Red Bank Catholic is a sure way to make friends for life. What is by far the most important aspect however is RBC's stellar education and college preparation. Sporting a wide variety of top level courses, quality teaching and strong academic competition, RBC makes good students into great ones.... Read 145 reviews

Parent: Sending our daughters to Mater Dei Prep is the best decision we ever made! The faculty & staff are amazing and dedicated. The Guidance Department does a wonderful job helping students prepare for college and navigating the application process flawlessly. MDP's academic program is very strong. They offer Honors and AP courses, as well as, dual enrollment with Rutgers, Seton Hall, and Brookdale. Students have the opportunity to take courses in the Career PREParation tracks: Global Leaders, Performing Arts, Health & Sciences, Law & Government. Additionally, the school offers a wide variety of extra-curricular clubs, sports, and community service programs. Something for everyone! MDP offers a supportive, nurturing, family environment. My daughters have thrived at MDP! Our senior is starting to receive college acceptances with strong merit scholarship offers which I credit to the support of the MDP faculty and staff. If you want to make a difference in your child's education choose MDP!... Read 59 reviews

Parent: Voyagers’ is like no other school. Every student is valued and the teachers are committed to teaching to each child. The students spend a lot of time outdoors and there is a big emphasis on community and civic responsibility. We love that our daughter spends time with students of different ages/grades and that there is such mutual respect between the students and teachers. For the past seven years our daughter has been excited to wake up and go to school every day. Her curiosity and love of learning is exactly what makes Voyagers’ so great!... Read 8 reviews

Middle School Student: Oak Hill Fully prepared me for my applications to high school. Also the teachers took time after school to help me prepare for the SSAT. I know a lot of people who move into great schools after leaving. Also my writing skills went up a lot of moving to Oak Hill. Anyway if you have child, you should sent them to Oak Hill. They are now even starting a high school. Going to this school was one of the best decisions I have made, and my mother thinks so too.... Read 6 reviews

Parent: When public schools went remote for COVID we transferred to Saint Mary School which remained open 5 full days days a week. Our children thrived with small class size and incredible teachers. Having access to the staff and faculty made the transition easier on everyone. Each classroom has a door to the outside which extended the learning possibilities. We are happy with the progress....

Parent: Saint Leo the Great has prepared by child for high school in ways other schools have not. The teachers and administration have a vested interest in the students well being and encourage them to succeed. The administration and PTA have worked endlessly these past few years to keep the school open and provide traditions (in modified versions) to the students. Thank you SLG!... Read 3 reviews

Alum: The HCA Preschool will provide your child with the utmost love and care needed at their age. Many activities revolve around crafts and field trips for the children to experience the world. From Kindergarten to 4th Grade, your child will continue to grow intellectually. For the 5th-8th grade classes, HCA’s teachers will progressively prepare each student for High School-level academics. Not only this, but the teachers will help prepare them for top-tier High Schools in Monmouth County. Many alumni of Holy Cross Academy go on to attend schools such as High Technology High School, Biotechnology High School, Marine Academy of Science and Technology, Christian Brothers Academy, Trinity Hall, Red Bank Catholic High School, etc. Overall, I highly recommend this school to any parents looking for the best educational experience for their children....
