Sophomore: Northwood School was the door that opens many opportunities and experiences. As it is known as a sports school, I have befriended many athletes who taught me how to play their sport. From soccer to skiing, the sports that northwood represents are never boring! Northwood is becoming more culturally diverse with the integration of international students . Northwood is also generous in handing out financial aid to those who need it. With northwood being in the adirondacks, changing the schools lifestyle to help the climate crisis is a must. Northwood starting using all recycled cups, napkins, etc to help the overconsumption of wood. There are students who run environmental club to work on how the school can leave a smaller carbon footprint print. As for racial inequality, Most Bipoc students are in the multicultural student club and they work on fighting inequality in the community and globally. Northwood is a great school to consider in your highschool application process!...Read 9 Reviews

Senior: Elizabeth Seton is a very sisterhood-based community. This community makes sure each student is supported and achieves academic success. Elizabeth Seton allows its students many opportunities and pre-career programs so that they can focus on what they want to study in college early. Programs such as these allow students to figure out what their passions include and if they are interested in making a career out of it. Elizabeth Seton allows students to meet and connect with new people by bringing alumni and guest speakers to talk to current students about challenging times they will face in life and ways to avoid them. Also, Elizabeth Seton ensures that everyone in the community feels safe, loved, and understood no matter what religion, background, or ethnicity they come from. Academics are very important at Elizabeth Seton but also creating a sistership between students that will last beyond a student's graduation is an important goal too...Read 311 Reviews

Junior: Beekmantown has always been a very welcoming place for students and I have always enjoyed my teachers and classmates. The teachers are not just there to teach and create a connection with students which really helps, especially during this pandemic. It has been a challenge for the staff of Beekmantown as I imagine it has been for tecahers at every school but they puch through with smiles on their faces. The academic criteria is much stronger than that of near by schools and the athletic programs are amazing. Great coaches and great sporting facilities!! When we were not facing the pandemic, Beekmantown allowed students to take part in so many different clubs and after school activities, offering a late bus to students if they had no way to get home after sports or clubs. The councelors also do a fantastic job at getting students prepared for everything needed for college, including just giving info on how to apply, and helping out with the applications as well...Read 112 Reviews

Senior: I built strong relationships with my teacher and felt that they truly cared about my education. There are plenty of opportunities to take AP classes or bridge courses through a near by community college. There is also an abundance of clubs and organizations that I can participate in. However, this school is very small so it is easy to get caught up in small-town drama. Everyone knows everyone else which is inconvenient...Read 39 Reviews

Based on progressive educational philosophy of John Dewey various activities such as farm works, arts and craft making, theater production, music performing are provided. A lot of physical activities. Your child may indulge into the nature of Adirondack hiking, skiing, swimming . Great environment to develop sense of community. My child said that he experienced the "ideal teacher role-model" in this school. Though there might be some swing among teacher capacity in practicing the school ethos according to how long they have been working at the school...Read 3 Reviews

The attention to the safety and emotional health of the students has clearly been a priority. We recommend GSB to non-Germans and Germans alike.
