Senior: I came to CK during the pandemic. It obviously was not a traditional experience, however, comparatively, the school's response to the pandemic in ensuring the best possible education was provided to their students was definitely exceptional. With the amazingly breathtaking campus, CK has the facilities and resources like no other high school that students have the full advantage of utilizing. Students had the opportunity to return to campus for in-person learning a lot sooner the other schools due to the spacing available. Now attending CK in a post-pandemic time, I can fully enjoy all that the school has to offer...and trust me, they've got lots!... Read 268 reviews

Parent: We are very happy at this school. The diversity in population is outstanding. Our twice exceptional child has teachers that really get him. Teachers meet our child where he is at and the core homeroom teachers are incredibly dedicated. Specialty teachers seem to turn over frequently and the lower school language and band program leave a lot to be desired regarding frequency and staffing.... Read 49 reviews

Senior: I've absolutely loved my time at Notre Dame Prep. I've been here for seven years, from middle school through high school, and I have always been blessed with academic challenges. All of the teachers are very focused on making their respective subjects enjoyable and informative to us students. I believe that the extracurricular opportunities, such as clubs and athletics, are beyond what I could ask for. Overall, I have loved my seven years at NDPMA, and it will be a bittersweet ending to my student career when I graduate this coming May!... Read 112 reviews

Parent: Everest is great school! The teachers, admin, religious priests and consecrated women truly support the formation of the student as a whole; morally, intellectually, physically and emotionally. Students are well prepared for college because of the strong character formation, academics and individualized instructions of having small class sizes. Everest is more like a family. One thing that Everest stands out among other catholic schools, is their genuine care for the families; everyone grows in faith and family life, through the support of the religious community. The teachers are amazing, they go above and beyond to help everyone succeed. There are many activities and clubs; sports and non-sports the student has many options.... Read 52 reviews

Freshman: I absolutely love Academy of the Sacred Heart! It is a small community and it offers so many opportunities for students to volunteer in the community. We take annual mission trips across the world that exposes us the many people, cultures and traditions. I love the block schedule of classes. It is preparing me for college. The school offers a great way of how technology is integrated into our curriculum. Our teachers care about our education and they ensure that we get the most out of their classes. They make themselves available to all students. I would love for the school to be exposed to a more diverse student population and I believe that the school is striving towards that goal. There are many opportunities that we serve in the community by participating in our bi-weekly service appointments. I have had the opportunity to work in soup kitchens where I am feeding the hungry. Serving m community is a great aspiration for me and I love the opportunity.... Read 65 reviews

Parent: Walking into AHCS, you can immediately feel a difference from other private schools. We transferred from a local Christian private school seeking a TRUE Christian environment with high academic standards, educators who instructed to rigorous and relevant curriculum, and a setting that required our students to meet the high expectations, as well as an environment that fosters and meets the needs of each student. We have found everything we desired in a school for our children. The staff is caring, helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. Conflicts or issues, especially between students, are resolved immediately, the curriculum is rigorous and relevant, and the educators are caring and knowledgeable. The head of school takes time to know each family personally and is always around to speak about an issue or concern and address any needs. There truly is no better private Christian school in Oakland County. Everyone is welcome, and this is home to everyone who walks through the doors.... Read 34 reviews

Parent: We have been so blessed that our kids have been able to go to Oakland Christian School! We have been there for 12 years so have been around awhile. We love the small class sizes, the caring teachers, the challenging curriculum, the many activities offered, and especially the Christ centered focus. We have 3 boys so had to have a school that also offered sports. They offer many different sports and are actually pretty competitive. Our oldest graduated from OCS last year and was very well prepared for college. He was prepared both academically and spiritually. You can get good academics at many different schools, but the Christ centered focus taught at Oakland Christian is tough to beat. We would send them to the same school all over again if we had to start over. It’s a great place!... Read 81 reviews

Parent: Sending my daughter to Our Lady of the Lakes has been such a blessing in our lives. She loves the small, close, family-related community and the small class sizes. As a high school student, she has so many choices for courses and electives including a lot of Advanced Placement classes. As a new student this past year, the students were so kind and the teachers so caring. And I love how Our Lady of the Lakes didn't miss a beat with virtual learning. From the moment we went home in March, her classes continued virtually with new instruction on new material. My daughter is so happy here!... Read 53 reviews

The small amount of students enrolled allowed for small class sizes, teachers that cared greatly about us and wanted to witness us succeed.... Read 6 reviews

Parent: We are new to HF this year (South Campus) and I can't express how humble, kind, and down to earth this community is. We have observed other local private schools that have a reputation of children/families who love to flaunt, compare/compete, and think they are better than everyone else. I can attest that the environment this school encourages is not even close to that which is very much displayed as a community. They are selective in their admission process which is fantastic. The academics are rigorous and the teaching of executive functioning skills are embedded on a day to day basis. Wish they would open a high school!... Read 12 reviews

From CYO sports to Scouts, there is something for everyone. All 4 of our children went on to the Catholic High Schools into Honors programs. St. Lawrence is the whole package with the church, school, athletics, and community. It has been a true blessing in our lives.... Read 7 reviews

My kids are receiving a high quality education that goes beyond the concepts they are learning in the classroom. The Principal teachers and staff are all amazing and most Important the students and family are all very nice! My kids love going to school everyday!

Alum: Absolutely incredible experience. As I am currently a freshman in high-school now and was a member of the class of 2021, I couldn't say enough about this school. Whatever I accomplish in life, this school will be at the top of my reasons why. Having come here, the transition into high-school so far has been absolutely seamless, and I was able to earn a very large academic scholarship into a top high-school. However, I believe that the family environment what made my experience unmatched. The bond between the students and teachers allowed for an amazing learning environment. I would absolutely love to give an individual shoutout to each teacher that has changed my life for the better if it weren't for the word restriction on the Niche review since I would go far over. Though I am devasted that my time here is over at, I do love the fact that I can come back every Sunday for Mass where I'm able to see all of my old classmates again and return back to what feels like home....

Alum: I grew up in St. John Lutheran School, I went there from Pre-School till 8-th grade. I believe I would not be the same person I am today if I didn’t go there. You’re in a Christian atmosphere every day and get to learn about God on a daily basis. The teachers were great and taught me not only school subjects, but things about life and being a good person. It also prepared me very well for high school and now that I’ll be graduating high school soon, I can really see how important that preparation is.... Read 2 reviews
