Parent: Have loved my daughter being at this school. She is happy, works hard, is challenged and very involved in many different things. This environment also encourages individuality which promotes supporting each other and not having to be identical young ladies. My daughter is very lucky to have such a wide range of classmates (differing in many ways including opinions, race, ethnicity, politics, religion, interests and more). This environment has broadened her mindset and perspective while simultaneously allowing her to strengthen and cultivate her own thoughts, opinions, ideas and values for herself. Overall, the girls are respectful and supportive of each other (even with differing points of view). They do work hard but have a lot of fun also!... Read 107 reviews

Parent: My son transferred from another private school to Lausanne in the 8th grade. He is currently a sophomore and excelling at Lausanne! The teachers at Lausanne truly are passionate about their work and they've taught my son how to think critically, advocate for himself and others, and how to become a better citizen. He struggled academically at first, but the teachers spent a lot of time getting him on track. The academics are very challenging, but Lausanne has so many programs in place to help the students succeed. I had no idea there were private schools that invested so much in their students learning goals and academics. They truly go the extra mile and beyond! And if you have an interest in any extra-curricular activity, Lausanne offers it! You would think they had 1000's of students because of the many different activities they offer for their students. It is a wonderful school, very diverse, and numerous class offerings to choose from. I highly recommend Lausanne.... Read 83 reviews

Senior: My experience at Memphis University School (MUS) has been life-changing. Before entering the school in 7th grade, I always knew about the incredible academics at MUS, but when I stepped foot on campus, I found much more. Besides sports teams that compete yearly for state titles and multiple bands that include many All-West musicians, there is something for everyone. From business clubs to diversity clubs, student organized clubs dominate the campus. At MUS, you can make connections that will last a lifetime.... Read 80 reviews

Junior: I truly love Hutchison. I feel as though I have attained a well rounded education while continuing to excel in extracurriculars and service work. Hutchison also builds an amazing community for students, teachers, and alumni. With the amazing education and connections Hutchison has given me, I am confident that when I graduate, I will be well prepared to succeed in college and in the workplace. For any parents considering Hutchison for your daughter, the years I have spent there shaped me into the young woman I am today, and I am forever grateful for that. Hutchison wants your daughter to flourish in whatever they choose to show interest or pursue, and enrolling them in the school will be immensely beneficial and worth the financial commitment.

Middle School Student: I have been attending PVS for my whole life and have never regretted coming to this school. PVS has provided the necessary resources to create an excellent environment for any student.The diversity is immaculate with students from all 7 continents and representing every part of the globe.The teachers are always there to help and use many teaching methods.I am never afraid to discuss any issues with my teachers; they are always willing to help in any way that they can.Additionally, at PVS I am given the opportunity to excel by taking more advanced courses.If I understand a concept, the teachers present more challenging topics that help me think harder and smarter.If I am falling behind, the teachers take extra time to help me understand whatever I need help on. Furthermore, PVS has many clubs and activities that I am able to participate in.I play multiple sports while also attending religious and academic clubs.I look forward to seeing PVS excel even further in the future InshaAllah....

Parent: We have two children enrolled at St. George’s and have enjoyed being part of the SGIS community for the last 11 years. It really does take a village to raise kids and we love that we have this level of trust within the community we’ve chosen. Academic excellence is an important cornerstone of our children’s education but can’t be the sole focus in developing well rounded kids. St. George’s understands this and strives to balance the formal education with hands on learning, while continuing to develop our kids physically, socially and spiritually as well. Led by Episcopal values, civic service is something valued and there is an intentional focus on character education from PreK all the way through Senior year. And as parents of kids who love sports and the outdoors, you just can’t beat SGIS’s Collierville campus! We love SGIS – 5 stars!... Read 57 reviews

The help you get from teachers and counselors is hands-down the best I have experienced throughout my life. We talk a lot about mental health and how to keep our community safer as a whole....

Parent: What an amazing school. I feel very confident in my child’s ability to learn here! They leave excellent first impressions that are beyond expectations to prospective, interested students and families. I enjoy everything they have to offer, and you will thrive here if your family chooses this school for their child. There is hardly any drama amongst parents or nasty social media groups bashing each other or teachers. We don’t get much into politics and it shows within the culture. Our anministration is truly involved and goes to all of the school events and knows the students personally.... Read 7 reviews

Parent: We love the small class sizes and the teachers’ hands-on teaching styles at St. Agnes. The teachers work hard to find activities to engage your child in a way that will help them grow. Not only will your child’s teacher know how they learn best, but they’ll also know them as a whole person- their personality, their friends, you as parents, etc. It feels like family. We love the Christian environment and Biblical teachings. We love the single gender lower school classrooms so that our girls learn to be confident leaders, but we also like how they still interact with their male counterparts through mass, field trips, book clubs, etc. We also appreciate all the social skills they learn in some co-ed classes in junior high, as well as the Early Childhood Center. We are thankful for the administration’s long-term focus on our children’s education and spiritual growth, but they can also be found spontaneously jumping in a bounce house with the kids or reading to classes. We love our school!... Read 92 reviews

Freshman: I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at White Station. It’s really a friendly environment once you settle in. There is an issue with fighting depending on who you associate with but no one I know personally has been in a fight nor have I. There’s many Ap classes offered including African American studies which is only offered at around 60 schools. There’s also a bunchhh of extracurriculars and clubs and you can actually apply to start one yourself which is pretty cool. Two of my friends started at economics and finance club and the process wasn’t to hard. They offer dual enrollment which is amazing. Again with the extracurriculars you can do pretty much any sport they even have laccrosse and rugby. All of the sports teams are pretty good….other than the football team…..overall great experience! Super diverse too there’s like any race and religion you can think of.... Read 575 reviews

Senior: I've been at Briarcrest for 15 years, and I'm very grateful for it. Most teachers there, especially in high school, care deeply about their students and want to see them grow. It's a very loving environment, and I love that I grew up in a place where the Bible is at its center. The facilities are excellent! There is so much offered for students at Briarcrest from many sports fields and arenas, its own theatre where concerts and plays are held, and an art hall with an art studio and recording studio. This school has a well-known a capella group, two fantastic bands, and its own record label. The only thing about Briarcrest I would change is some classes are not challenging enough. Some AP and honors classes can become really difficult, but some honors and standard classes just don't challenge students at all. There needs to be more of a middle ground where students can still learn, but not be babied or lose sleep.... Read 240 reviews

Parent: I am the parent of a rising 6th grader that just completed his 6th and final year at Dogwood as well as a rising 4th grader. Both of my children love Dogwood! I appreciate the support of their teachers as both children have different needs and abilities. The administration is incredible at supporting the development of the "whole child". Even in recent situations where one of my kids made a poor behavior decision, the administration was clearly focused on being sure to correct the behavior without having the child walk away feeling shamed or anxious. This has been a wonderful environment for my children and for our family!... Read 10 reviews

Parent: Harding Academy- graduate after graduate, over 35 years of consistent enrollment in my family! Harding is more than a school--it's a family, a way of life, providing godly training leading to the best you 24/7/365 every year...a Lion for Life! In every city, church, and job I've held, I've found Harding connections masterfully given by the Lord. The school song sings of our treasure, Christian joy and pride, God's providence building the school serving as our guide. Providence surely has guided us as we've adapted and prepared to meet each generation where they are. Now, as I sing this song beside my three children knowing soon they'll have their own class rings bearing Harding's image, I'm convicted the Lord charted our journeys, blessed our choices, sacrifices, and commitment to ensure my time and theirs each day until the walk to receive their diplomas. There's no other place we'd rather be. It's a foretaste of heaven on earth.... Read 132 reviews

Senior: I love Collierville High School. The teachers are great and will really invest their time in you if you put in the work. Our fine arts are fantastic with our band, orchestra, and choir winning many competitions. Our sports teams are ok, but they are climbing back up to the top!(Our basketball team went to the state championship this year) Nevertheless, our school is loaded with spirit, with kids participating during homecoming week and other school spirit weeks. Our facilities are ok (referring to the ever problematic bathrooms). However, despite the problems, Collierville High is still a great school and will definitely get you ready for college!...

Parent: This is an amazing school for academic. I love the size and warm, personal feel of the school culture. The way the teachers helped me help my children with technology was stunning. There were just so many apps I could not keep up with. The administration is supportive of everyone's needs and is present at every event. I would recommend this school to anyone! Every event is well though through and flows smoothly. There is a lot of behind the scenes work that happens and it is much appreciated at this school! Teachers and students are so loved and have fun while working. It is very apparent as soon as anyone walks in. My children do not want to miss a day of school.... Read 9 reviews

Parent: This school did an excellent job at preparing my children for middle school. The homework was not excessive, but just enough to reinforce the skills to ensure their success within the classroom. They have molded my children to grow in to respectful little humans! This school is well organized and every grade level is in sync with how they handle things. That is one thing I am very grateful for as a parent is how smooth the transition is from one class to the next. The procedures are the same throughout the school and throughout the district. My friends kid goes to a different school and they follow the same procedures. I love how uniformed everything is. No place I'd rather B!... Read 3 reviews

Works Here: Altruria is an AMAZING elementary school full of kindness and learning. The teachers are happy to teach and it shows because many of them have been there for YEARS. There are many opportunities for kids to explore and parents to get involved. I believe that Altruria is the BEST elementary school in Memphis. The building is outdated, but that doesn't stop the artwork from flooding the halls or the welcoming environment of classrooms. If you are looking for an elementary school that will love your child and wants them to succeed, this is the place. There is a full-time SRO officer that makes safety a main priority. The administration is connected and well-informed.... Read 6 reviews

Parent: My family has had an amazing experience at Bailey Station! This school is full of top-notch, caring teachers and staff. It really feels like a family from the moment you walk in the door. Everyone is so friendly and is genuinely excited to be there. My son has grown so much not only academically, but socially and emotionally! I’m amazed at all the things he’s learning. Communication is a strength as my husband and I always know what’s going on through regular emails, videos, etc from teachers and administration. I feel like I can reach out to my child’s teacher and they are more than willing to help in any way. My son loves going to school each day, especially on “Face Lift Fridays!” Bailey Station is a wonderful school and truly focuses on helping each child reach their full potential!... Read 4 reviews
