  Rating 4.37 out of 5  367 reviews

Senior: Aside from Covid causing some unexpected twists and turns, I have loved my experience at Indiana Academy. It truly allowed me an opportunity to experience life away from home prior to leaving for college. The professors have been fantastic and I would recommend this school to anyone. It offers a far more challenging educational experience than I could have ever gotten at my traditional high school. Best decision I ever made!...Read 367 Reviews

  Rating 4.17 out of 5  115 reviews

Senior: I really like a lot of things about Sig! The environment is one that encourages individual thought, success, and growth. Because we are such a small school, there is a strong sense of community and a general kindness surrounding everyone you meet. I’m a senior, and I feel as though I could walk up to anyone in my class and start a conversation! The teachers also truly care about their subjects and students (although there are some who are more strict than others) and, as a student, you have ample opportunity to explore subjects you are interested in. The only thing that I think is an issue is the amount of pressure this school and it’s environment places on academic success. Although a drive to learn and succeed is important to every school, Signature has issues with student mental health as a result of the amount of pressure they feel to do well. That aside, however, I feel as though Sig is a wonderful fit for students who are academically motivated and enjoy a smaller atmosphere...Read 115 Reviews

Parent: We’ve have one graduate and two current students at Culver Academies.

The Culver network is strong around the world, and I’ve rarely seen such a committed group of dedicated alumnae at the high school level. Check out Culver!...Read 152 Reviews

Freshman: This school is excellent! I am currently a freshman and i have never felt more at home. There is however a concern that there are not in enough AP courses. I do not find this a problem because if you take advantage of the ones given to you colleges will acknowledge that. The extracurriculars are very orderly and teach you a lot about the outside occupations you can have. Overall i have no social and academic problems with this school...Read 84 Reviews

Canterbury School

  Rating 4.1 out of 5  97 reviews

Senior: Overall, the school is right in some ways to claim its fame that teachers strongly focus on students. It's a largely personal experience between the two parties which is something I like. The teachers are generally very good, driving students to fully understand topics through deep discussion. If additional help is needed, they're always there. One thing I might add is that at times the workload is rather excessive. Depending on the student, the culture here pushes students to take on lots of difficult classes at once leading to filled schedules and later burnout. This might be a communication error, but I think more could be done. Otherwise, lots of freedom is afforded to students, and there are many events at school which is nice. The community vibe is real...Read 97 Reviews

La Lumiere School

  Rating 4.42 out of 5  50 reviews

Parent: The best thing about La Lumiere School is that the school values and focuses on the individual development of each and every student in a very academically challenging but an almost family like environment. A lot of the members of this community come to consider this place as their second home...The level of devotion into the education and the student’s well-being by the school’s faculties and staffs was well proven during the most difficult time of COVID-19 era (i.e. 2020), when this school became the very first among the similar private educational institutes in the same region to resume the on-campus classes while putting into place a rigorous system to keep the community free of COVID-19. The message was clear that the school was committed to ensure that the students (and the parents) would continue to receive what they deserved even during the worst time of human society...If you are looking for a school that truly cares about your child, this school is worth looking into.Read 50 Reviews

Parent: We sent our pre-K child to this school, with intentions of leave him there for a few years until we bought a house in which we would switch him to that school district. Regardless of where we move we’ll absolutely be leaving him at ISI. His teacher was absolutely amazing in every way, The staff is always friendly and can answer/resolve any questions/issues you may have, all staff members genuinely care about the kids. Additionally The language immersion is integrated into the curriculums so well, it far exceeded my expectations. The lesson plans, daily activities, events, and Programs all appear thought out and well planned. I genuinely love having my kiddo at the school, because I know he’s in good hands. I have intentions of leaving him at ISI regardless of where we live!...Read 84 Reviews

  Rating 4.1 out of 5  1,117 reviews

Senior: From college prep classes to soccer teams, I am extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend a high school like Carmel. For the almost four years I have been attending, Carmel has proven how their high-quality teachers and curriculum can allow students to reach academic achievement. The facility, more specifically counselors, has provided tremendous support in the segway from the remainder of a student's high school experience to college, making the transition much less stressful. Not only does Carmel have outstanding scholastic fulfillment, but the endless clubs and state-winning athletic programs allow for students to become involved with the school and the community inside the classroom and out. I am forever grateful for the memories I have made at Carmel High School and wouldn't have wanted to receive a high school diploma from anywhere else!...Read 1,117 Reviews

  Rating 4.34 out of 5  59 reviews

Junior: University High School is not the school for everyone, but it's perfect for the student determined to expand their horizons and improve. The freedom and variety of extracurriculars, along with the quality of academics, makes this school objectively great. However, one must keep in mind that UHS is a predominantly white Midwestern private school. Though many try not to be, students, and at times staff, can be elitist, cliquey, sheltered, and close minded. As a student from multiple marginalized groups, if UHS is otherwise a good fit, I wouldn't discourage other kids from marginalized groups to come here. However, I would especially advise them to hold their own, because while UHS is a great and supportive environment, they are going to need to...Read 59 Reviews

Senior: I will be a senior at Zionsville Community High School this fall. From the moment I stepped in the building as a freshman, I felt welcomed. The teachers and staff did a great job in middle school of preparing us for the challenges of high school and the teachers and staff at the high school continued great support for my first three years. Sports and music programs are always a sight to see as the students often go out to support their teams. The School is a decent size, but it seems almost everyone knows of everyone else making that atmosphere very inviting. I can't wait to enjoy my final year as an Eagle!...Read 423 Reviews

  Rating 4.06 out of 5  118 reviews

Junior: The school has been nothing but extraordinary. It is one which gives a vast span academic rigor and the 11:1 student-faculty ratio gives an amazing opportunity for one-on-one student teacher time. The teachers and staffing do everything with student success in mind. Not only this, but there are many times throughout the day built in for students to meet with teachers in subject offices, complete homework or socialize. The school does an amazing job of providing a great balance between work and fun. With students constantly attending sporting events, club meetings and other school led activities, the different grade levels are able to interact. Also, it is not super religious. Students can participate in relies events at their choice. The school offers amazing scholarship opportunities and highly ranked athletic teams (2021-22 W. Volleyball, M. Soccer, M. Cross Country all state champions and Football Runner-Ups). I would highly recommend to at least do a tour or come shadow!...Read 118 Reviews

Sophomore: My overall experience at Creekside was really good, minus a few details. First of all, there were some teachers that didn't seem to put in as much effort as others. While most teachers were quite amazing there were definitely a hand full that were not. Second of all, there were some pretty major situations with a student threatening the school and students and hardly anything was done or said about it...Read 4 Reviews
