Works Here: As a former student and current teacher my positive experience with Houghton Academy goes back more than fifty years. What I like about Houghton Academy is the dedication that the faculty, staff, and administration demonstrate to the academic, spiritual, and personal development of each student. The school’s small size and location in a small town contribute to each student feeling like a member of a close academic family. However, the school’s proximity to Houghton University means that the cultural and educational opportunities at Houghton Academy are far greater than would be expected given its small-town environment. In the future, I hope that Houghton Academy will continue to grow moderately, without sacrificing its family-like atmosphere. I would like to see the Academy’s excellent music, arts, and cultural programs grow as the student body expands. Houghton Academy’s 140 years of experience in Christian education is hard to beat....

Parent: Our taxes are a bit higher than most other areas , but we get great schools like this and great families as well. Many of the parents may have accents and speak not-so-perfect English, but their values are the same as all Syosset residents. Schools are more than just teachers, programs and facilities. It's who your child is sitting next to and what they bring to your child's life. When so many of our friends in Queens and Manhattan are stressed and scrambling to find schools for their kids to attend, it's nice to know that we don't have to worry about anything for 12 years. +++We were just notified by email that Syosset will be offering Mandarin ESL to incoming 1st and 2nd graders in 2023. This will really help transition the little ones with becoming proficient in English.... Read 2 reviews

Parent: I have a current 4th and 5th grader at HES, both of whom have been at the school since 2nd grade. Their teachers have been truly remarkable in inspiring the students' interest in learning. All of their instructors have been great at actually getting to know the students individually and thus understanding how to best present new material to them. The curriculum itself has been very strong. I have been happy with the enrichment the school has provided the academically motivated students. The open communication between the administration and the parents is commendable as well. It's nice to know that my children are being watched out for while we aren't around.... Read 4 reviews

Middle School Student: When I moved here in 5th grade, I had a fabulous experience here in Searingtown School. The teachers were welcoming and it was easy to fit in with my fellow students here. There are many school events such as making a jack-o-lantern, picnics, game night, and so on. I learned a lot from this school even though I only spent a year here. I wish I could've moved sooner....

Parent: As a long time Gaynor parent, I can't say enough positive things about the school. Our son attended Gaynor for nine years and is now a high school sophomore. He is excelling in a highly competitive STEM-based curriculum. We attribute much of his success to Gaynor, where he learned 'how to learn', and to advocate for himself. Our daughter is in her sixth year at Gaynor and is learning how to overcome dyslexia. Gaynor's use of the Orton-Gillingham method in combination with individualized instruction has made a world of difference for our daughter. All in all, we thank our lucky stars that we found Gaynor.... Read 4 reviews
