Parent: Boarding School is such a unique experience, and I truly believe no school can quite encompass that authentic "boarding school" experience like Exeter. From A tier academics, to amazing sports, Exeter has it all. Topping it off, most of the faculty here hold a PHD or some sort of master's degree in their field, which leads to meaningful and impactful classroom conversations everyday. I came to Phillips Exeter as a Sophomore and my only regret is that I only got to spend three years here!... Read 310 reviews

Parent: My son is currently a senior at Governor's and has had a fantastic experience! It truly is a very special place and we are so grateful he has had the opportunity to attend...The academics are definitely tough, but Governor's finds a way to create balance. There are prep schools out there that are so rigorous kids are stressed out and depressed. I distinctly recall touring one elite school which had an entire floor of a building dedicated to counseling offices because kids were so stressed out. That is not the case at Govs. Balance is important in life and Govs makes a conscious effort to explicitly weave that into the experience. I highly recommend Governor's to any parent looking for a school which will not only prepare your son or daughter for college, but one that will encourage growth on many levels.... Read 65 reviews

Parent: Exceptional! After a number of discouraging school experiences, we found Sparhawk. Our primary concern is having a safe, inclusive, caring environment - Sparhawk absolutely provides a level of attention AND intention that goes above and beyond. They have navigated the COVID situation with transparency and concern, providing resources and focusing on the needs of our children. The curriculum draws from diverse sources, providing robust and engaging project-based learning. The school has a progressive set of values, a credo, that reflects the values of the school and the community it strives to create and maintain. When our child has struggled, he has found multiple outlets for support, from his classroom teacher all the way to the head of school. I feel confident he is learning to to strive and grow because he feels cared for and listened to. He is a neurodiverse 2e kid, and no other place has been able to come close to meeting his needs with as much grace and skill as Sparhawk.... Read 24 reviews

Junior: St. Thomas is a very good community. There is really no bullying or "mean girls" or anything like that. There are a lot of opportunities especially considering the seize of the school, and if someone wants to do something that the school does not offer then they will be helped by teachers or guidance counselors so students are never held back. The teachers are also extremely devoted to their work and are focused on giving students the skills that they will need later on for life rather than constantly making them memorize random facts....

Middle School Student: I joined in the middle of my 6th grade year, and I originally thought that it would be difficult to transition, but the teachers make it really easy to get used to the new school. The curriculum is amazing at this school, and the teachers, students, and admin are absolutely amazing. If you're looking for an excellent education for your child, this is the place to go!...

Niche User: Our experience has been nothing but extraordinary. Middle school years are always concerning for parents but IC lifts the student through these years and is not content with just 'managing' the student through these years.... Read 3 reviews
