Parent: This school community is like no other! I have taught at four private schools across the country, and now my two children attend Seven Hills. The faculty is superb; expert educators, and invested in their students. The social climate is diverse and inclusive. Everyone is responsible for everyone. We couldn't be happier!...

Parent: The teachers are all so amazing! They are nurturing and you can tell they really have a passion for teaching and growing minds. The administrative staff are also very helpful and have great communication. The various events for both students and parents always go above and beyond expectations. CCDS' 62-acre campus is unmatched and enable their rich outdoor education, my kids particularly enjoy the animal farm they have! We live in Hyde Park with closer private school options but fully believe the longer drive to CCD is absolutely worth it to provide the best well rounded education for our children from Early Childhood - 12th grade!...

Senior: I have found that the The Summit Country Day School has a very supportive community through academics, the arts, and sports. I have fostered meaningful relationships especially through the running program. My peers are supportive in my academic endeavors and achieving my goals. I have been able to explore my creative potential. I would change to a greater focus on each individual reaching their fullest potential. It can be a very stressful environment with the challenging academics. By having teachers recognize this pressure to succeed and creating a more manageable workload on top of the overwhelming extracurricular that many students are involved in.... Read 126 reviews

Senior: Attending Walnut Hills High School was an unforgettable experience. It offers a rigorous academic curriculum covering STEM and humanities, diverse extracurricular activities, and a welcoming, supportive community. Its abundant resources include a well-stocked library, computer lab, and cultural programs. The school fostered personal and intellectual growth, encouraged critical and creative thinking, and built teamwork skills. The teachers were knowledgeable and approachable, while the diverse student body created an inclusive environment where students could learn from each other's perspectives. Overall, Walnut Hills provides a transformative high school experience that prepares students for college and beyond. I highly recommend Walnut Hills to any student looking for a challenging, enriching, and supportive high school experience.... Read 599 reviews

Senior: Saint Xavier has a very driven environment that brings the best out of everyone there, whether in academics, sports, fine arts, community service, or other extracurricular activities. They have done a great job of building the necessary support systems and resources for students in need for financial aid and academic support and tutoring. Next, with the various different classes that students can take best suited to their abilities, everyone is adequately challenged to help foster growth within all the young men at the school. While Saint Xavier encourages excellence in all areas of life, it is okay to need help because of the welcoming and understanding environment that has been developed. Overall, it is a great school to foster growth and bring the best out of young men who are fortunate enough to go there.... Read 189 reviews

Senior: I loved Ursuline Academy because of the loving and welcoming community. The environment with all girls creates a strong sisterhood were everyone is comfortable being themselves. Its mentality is putting peoples best work forward and always trying to improve the next time. The teachers are friendly and kind and want to make sure all their students understand their work. Our complex schedule definitely gets us ready for college with making sure that we have good time management skills. Of course there are areas that the school could improve on such as reaching out to be more diverse instead of an all white school. The food could be better with all the money that gets put into the school, and some of the equipment for sports teams and theater could be replaced. Overall, it is a great school with a intense focus on academics and leadership in the community where everyone can find there place at this school. I recommend anyone who is very independent and high achieving to come to Ursuline!... Read 232 reviews

Parent: My son moved to Schilling for high school from a rigorous private school where he never felt understood despite his high IQ. Now, he is a different child. He loves school again and thrives under the exceptionally qualified and caring teachers and staff. They go above and beyond the call of duty to challenge my son in his areas of strength and to help him overcome his areas of weakness. At Schilling, he is completing college level courses easily and loving every minute of it! His ninth grade Biology book was the exact same one my older son used in college, so I know he will not only be prepared for college but will excel there. The school administration deals fairly and efficiently with any problems that arise in a way that teaches the kids to solve or avoid future issues. The personal attention that is given to both the students and parents is extraordinary. We are so glad we moved to Schilling and recommend it highly!... Read 5 reviews

Alum: I went to this school for 12 years and honestly, I would do it all over again. This is a school that prepares you for life. Spiritually, I have CHCA to thank for setting a firm foundation that was given to me in Elementary school. In middle school I learned that it was time for me to grow up and take action. In high school, all of it was put together and the challenges that I faced, I knew I had all the resources at CHCA to help. The teachers are amazing and they are so personable, I'll never forget their names. The classes were hard, but now that I am finishing college, I see how much it helped me. The relationships that I have made from this school are life long and these guys are the best guys in the world. CHCA is a school that I will always have respect for! The athletics, fine arts, theater program, after school programs, and servitude towards the Lord are the highlights!... Read 119 reviews

Parent: My husband and I couldn't be more pleased with Saint Ursula Academy. We have 4 daughters. Our first just graduated from SUA and is going on to an elite university. Not only is she more than prepared (academically, emotionally and socially) she is a confident citizen of the world and already making the world a better place! Two of our other daughters are current students with the 4th chomping at the bit to enter in two years. My daughters' local community and global awareness has grown exponentially since attending SUA. The SUA community is a wonderfully supportive environment. I love that our girls meet classmates from all over the tri-state area! Go Bulldogs!... Read 191 reviews

Middle School Student: It’s not just a school it’s a supportive community! We are new to school and so glad for the opportunity. The faculty are all advocates for my child. When there are areas where my child needs help, teachers are always available to offer office hours and tutorial opportunities. The school offers parents multiple tools to help stay connected and informed. Teachers proactively reach out to parents to give positive feedback. The curriculum and assignments are structured to build on my child’s creativity. Promoting both balance and challenge but avoiding burnout. I am so thankful for our supportive Covington Latin Family!... Read 230 reviews

Alum: I really liked how we got to have fun activities and trips. For example we got to travel to Washington D.C. as a class. We also got to go to Kings Island. Also on Fridays we get to do expeditions which help you find interests for careers and sports. Some things I would change about our school is the hands on activities. I feel like we could have more opportunities to do hands on work and labs.... Read 1 review

Parent: Moeller High School has been a perfect fit for our family. We are grateful that our sons are experiencing such a well-balanced high school experience. They are challenged by high level academic classes, participate in sports they are passionate about and have time to build relationships with other students. The House System has really helped them flourish as a part of a community, bringing students of different grade levels together to mentor each other and create bonds with individuals they may not have otherwise gotten to experience. Teachers are thoughtful, approachable and understand what it takes to teach young men. It's not only academics they teach but also life lessons to help these men beyond high school. Moeller has something for everyone - clubs, sports, service, academics, arts, leadership. Moeller is the perfect size - not too big and not too small for this family. And the brotherhood at Moeller is an amazing! We couldn't have picked a better high school for our sons.... Read 108 reviews

Parent: The new high school is a state of the art learning facility. It finally matches the level of excellence the teachers have always provided students. My children are more prepared for college than their peers. The level of instruction and preparedness Mariemont High School is so high that my children were confident for the next steps. The number of caring staff members that helped my child through their journey make MHS a special place. There is something for every student, now that broadcasting and eSports are an option my son found a way to connect to his school. The experiential learning program they offer is next to none. The intersession week my son participated in helped him discover his path for after school. The internship was a remarkable experience.... Read 92 reviews

Junior: I started attending MVCA in preschool. MVCA has good academics, they offer advanced courses including AP classes. There are several amazing teachers who strive to be not just great teachers, but also great role models. Unfortunately, with being a small school, there are not a whole lot of options for what classes you can take. MVCA's high school has a very small student body. Unfortunately that means that it can be hard to fit in or find like-minded individuals. It also means that everyone knows everyone's business. In terms of Christianity, MVCA offers Bible classes that promote reading and memorizing Scripture. In high school, students study the Old and New Testaments as freshmen and sophomores. Then they study Apologetics and Comparative Worldview as juniors and seniors. We also have weekly chapels with student-run worship and a sermon from a faculty member. Most students are involved in athletics and/or fine arts. We have a strong student section and a big theatre program.... Read 61 reviews

Parent: I cannot say enough good things about our experience at McNick. Each of our kids have different academic strengths, and McNick is the only school that has helped our gifted kid continue to be challenged and our kid on an IEP be guided to success in the classroom. The amount of clubs is outstanding -- there is literally something for everyone! The sports program is simply amazing and completely student centric -- so much has been invested to ensure the safety and strength training of our kids. On a final note, we were slightly hesitant about sending our kids to a parochial school because other schools in the area shied away from addressing important issues such as social injustice and mental health & emotional learning. McNick approached these topics with sensitivity and objectiveness creating a compassionate community of students always putting service to lose less fortunate.... Read 143 reviews

Sophomore: I’ve enjoyed my overall experience at MND so far but it has its flaws. It’s good for students who want to explore their interests. As far as I’m aware, MND provides some great programs for sports, arts, performing arts, and more. Classes are also pretty good! I take almost entirely honors classes, and I think the teachers effectively teach for the most part and genuinely care about their students. The food is delicious, uniforms are comfortable, resources are useful, it does most things pretty well. But I think one of MND’s weakest points is it’s administration. They aren’t…terrible but they can sometimes be very passive aggressive and can handle situations poorly. (ex/homophobia, racism, etc.) Not the worst but many students, including myself, have been left disappointed more than once by them. Some student can also be pretty judgmental and ignorant, but the student body is fairly diverse, so there’s always a fair chance of meeting a group of great friends here!... Read 183 reviews

Senior: I personally love Seton High School. My favorite part is the such strong community that surrounds the school. When you go to Seton you don't just sign up to get a good well rounded education, you sign up to a "sisterhood." I know that sounds supper cheesy, but the community that you enter into at Seton is unlike any other. There is so much support, pride, and enthusiasm, and it has made my high school experience the fulfilling experience that I have received through Seton.... Read 118 reviews

Senior: What I really like about this school is how it gives students a chance to be able to be surrounded by people with similar interests and goals as them. The academic education system is very good, as well as the arts education system. The students are all very supportive and accepting of each other and overall, the environment is very good. Something I think this school could improve on is the organization. I think it would just be even better if we were more organized. It's hard to keep track of everything going on because of all the different majors, but a planned out organization system could really help with that.... Read 151 reviews

If it wasn’t for our special ed teacher, and the administration working for me, I would not have had the positive experience I had.

Alum: Clark Montessori is one of few Montessori middle and high schools .It goes from 7-12th grade. I loved the school because of the sense of community that the students grow to overt heir years there. I loved the small class sizes, it allowed more help from teachers and improved my academics. I participated in three sports, the teams are not that large because of the number of students there but they do okay. The school preps students for college and practices for college admission tests. Some experiments that I left Clark with include a 8th grade trip to Andros island Bahamas and intercessions. Intercession are in fall and spring where you have experiences outside the classroom. Mandatory fall intercessions include career planning, college tours, and ,lifeskill. some choices for fall intercession include rockets and rollercoasters , farm school, Washington D.C, Underground railroad, Greece trip and more.
