Parent: I have seen many positive changes at Calverton is my sons' decade + time there. The current Board and Administration "gets" it. The College Counseling is awesome and the Admissions Team is focusing on the "right" type of student (and families). The School is strong, diverse, multi-cultural, and growing. A lot of the malcontents have moved on. For example, the Boys Varsity Soccer team won the league title last Fall (and was undefeated in league play)-the team was a really tight group w/ players from the USA (Maryland and other states), Bermuda, Cayman Islands, and Hong Kong. The Coaches are from Bermuda and England. The parents formed a great bond. It was a magical season and showed the School is a really fine light. Calverton is a School on the rise!... Read 52 reviews

Sophomore: Overall, Huntingtown is a really good school. It has so many options for clubs and extracurriculars, so basically, there’s something for everyone. There are so many class options as well! Most of the teachers are really accommodating and kind when it comes to the different students needs! People will argue that it’s not a great school, but who doesn’t say that about their school? I really had a hard time in school, but Huntingtown has made it easier!... Read 530 reviews

Parent: I have three kids here. It is an excellent school. The graduates have no problem being accepted into the best high schools in the area. The administration and teachers are very open to communication. Having such a small number of students means we all get to know each other like a large family. Every family participates in one way or another to make the school run well. Don’t be put off by the Christian part of the school. All are welcome and no forced confessions of faith are wrenched out of the students. All students are expected to behave themselves and treat each other with dignity and respect. No one is told they will go to hell for willful sinning. The school has a loving atmosphere and we all try to get along as the students learn about world history, the environment, literature, art, math, music, science and friendship.... Read 3 reviews

Parent: My son was at the local public school and we removed him in search of a more traditional & safe setting where children are treated with kindness & respect. What we found was a faith-based school with teachers who genuinely care for their students. I really appreciate the individualized attention the teachers offer. While the school is "Catholic", children are exposed to other religions through their social studies curriculum & encouraged to explore various cultures & traditions. Students are encouraged to think outside of the box but also taught in a traditional way as many of us (parents) were taught. CHA offers a drama program, band, chorus, basketball, soccer, & possibly track next year! CHA also offers a Mathlete club & free after-school math tutoring for children 5-8. All students K-8 get time to play outside after lunch. In the public school, there is no scheduled outdoor time. Knowing he is getting fresh air brings me happiness & he loves it. Also, no cell phones in school!... Read 16 reviews

Parent: If you want a school that has your child’s best interest at heart, look no further. We are beyond pleased with every aspect of OLSS. Not only are the academics above par (more opportunities than public school: Spanish classes start in pre-k, private piano lessons available, mentoring of younger students by middle schoolers and the list goes on) but the behavioral expectations and social teachings enforced in the school are phenomenal. Your child is a name, not a number and the parent involvement with the school is amazing. We wanted a small, faith based school that would provide our children with a top notch education, lifetime friendships and community involvement. That’s exactly what we have found here....

The attention to individual student strengths and needs coupled with the fun and nurturing environment has allowed them to thrive not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. My husband and I have felt so welcomed into the school community. We are especially grateful for grade level family gatherings, text chains, and more that have allowed us to connect with other parents. Additionally, the parent events that the school has hosted have been a fun way to meet parents of students in other grades, and foster school spirit that extends beyond the students and into the whole family....
