Senior: I have been at Gill St. Bernard's since Pre-K. It has been a great experience filled with tremendous support from my teachers and peers. The kids are very welcoming to new students and are eager to make new friends. Bullying is something that I have personally not heard about once in my 14 years here. The teachers effectively teach classes and are extremely personable as well. The connections I have with some of my teachers rival the connections I have with my peers. There are a plethora of clubs and activities at Gill that allow every single student to be involved in something that they are interested in. The food at Gill is awesome as well. It is much better than your average cafeteria food and has a variety of healthy and tasty options every day. Gill adequately prepares students for college through the academic rigor and incredible college guidance staff that dedicated their entire day to placing students at the right universities. Gill is the place to be!... Read 127 reviews

Parent: Absolutely fantastic! We enrolled both of our daughters in to VWA this year and it has been a wonderful year. VWA has met and exceeded all expectations. Both of our daughters are thriving. They are happy, the teachers have been wonderful and they have made so many friends with the other girls at the school. VWA is an amazing and nurturing environment. Our eldest daughter went from no sports to being a 3 sport athlete. Our youngest joins every activity she is permitted. They spend a lot of time on the beautiful VWA campus to spend with friends and be a part of the VWA community. Solidly one of the best decisions we have made. To see your daughters happy and successful, in a nurturing environment, especially during their teen years, priceless!!... Read 83 reviews

Alum: The teachers and administration at this school are excellent! They create a great environment for students and ensure that every single student who walks through the halls has a great opportunity to learn. In fact, This was one of the few schools to stay open during the entire pandemic, showing the caliber of the administration. It is also an IB school, so bonus points for an added opportunity there.... Read 223 reviews

Parent: My three children have been at American Christian School for 7 years. The school has been like a second home to them. The teachers and administrators have a genuine care and concern for each student. I have seen this first hand with my children and other children. The staff goes out of their way to meet the child where they are and then they continue to raise the bar. My children have grown in ways I never imagined. They take pride in their school, they care about their peers, they care about doing the best work in every subject. They are very self driven. They have also grown so much in their love of God. I have also been able to be involved with my kids at school through field trips, class celebrations, special events and as a room parent. I couldn't ask for a better environment for my kids. Thank you ACS! We are so happy to have found you.... Read 39 reviews

Niche User: Bragg is a very good school. They have great teachers and staff. They are warm and welcome each and every day. I have never had a bad teacher at Bragg elementary school. The children are also very nice, Bragg has big classrooms and playgrounds. The use of Chromebooks is very nice and teaches us a lot more than worksheets. The subjects are advanced and teach the child a lot more. There are many after school activities that can fit your personalty. The related arts are also very advanced yet fun. Bragg school teaches kids how to be creative and kind. They do kindness weak that help teach teh importance of kindness. Bragg is defiantly a top notch school that your kid will enjoy....

Parent: This is our first year at Gottesman RTW Academy. My children have had a wonderful year. I feel they are safe, cared for, and getting a stellar education. The school focuses on differentiated learning so that each child gets enrichment or support as needed. The administration is very well organized and not only are they open to parental feedback, but they actually problem solve and ACT on the feedback very quickly from my observations. The communication is excellent. I always receive emails back within a day from a teacher or administrator when I have a concern. The school is extremely generous with their tuition calculations and they don't "nickel and dime you" during the year. Not to mention they are in a beautiful new modern building with an armed security guard. If you want your children to develop a strong and proud Jewish identity, learn Hebrew and Judaic studies, develop a love for Israel, as well as an excellent secular education, then I would definitely consider GRTWA!...

Parent: We are thrilled to be part of the Willow Community! After going through the pre-k program with my second son, we immediately transferred our first son from public school to second grade at the Willow. Both boys experience joyful learning there and they continue to grow as compassion individuals in a support environment through the school’s amazing virtues program. We couldn’t be happier!...

Parent: My daughter has studied in this school for 5 years and a half since grade 3. The teachers there are all wonderful, responsible and easily reachable. It's completely a peace of mind for parents who either don't have too much time due to business/work or don't grow up and have any knowledge of education system in this country. Just send kids to this school and pay tuitions. The school will do the rest for you. During covid time, the school had barely online study period. Our daughter was so happy to go to school every day, since not only she obtained knowledge but also harvest friendship there. This school doesn't have administrative bureaucracy as you may see in other schools. Your money is all invested in your children's education. We love this school most of all is that it maintains conservative teaching, not crappy woke LGBTQ++ at all. One feels sane and safe putting one's children into this school. The pity is this school doesn't offer 9-12 education.... Read 13 reviews

Parent: If I could give St. E's more than 5 stars, I would. My children were in the local public elementary school before switching to St. E's. It was the best decision we ever made. They have blossomed & progressed exponentially under the instruction of these fantastic teachers & incredible administration. It was night & day. The individualized instruction in the classroom makes all the difference. The middle schoolers get into every high school they apply to, which speaks to the top-notch teachers & curriculum. The community is so family oriented & encourages parent involvement. My children are truly loved, nurtured, respected, & supported by every staff member. Through the buddy program, younger classes are partnered with older students. It is an unbelievable confidence boost for a Kindergartener to have an 8th grader as a mentor & friend....they feel supported & valued. In addition to the academics, the values & morals my children are learning here are a gift for the rest of their lives.... Read 18 reviews

Parent: My children have attended St. There's School for the last 9 years and we couldn't be happier with the education they have received. St. Therese truly has that family atmosphere that so many of us seek when looking for a school for our children. The caring teachers, principal and staff set St. Therese apart from others....
