Parent: City Day has had a transformative impact on our son. He disliked school before we enrolled him at City Day. Within days of starting there (as a fourth-grader), his confidence and mood improved exponentially. The teachers are demanding, and also smart, caring and attentive. The program mixes traditional academics with innovative tech/design experiences and numerous field trips. The campus is a delight. We couldn’t be happier or more grateful to have found this learning community!...Read 14 Reviews

Alum: Pana Senior High has an incredible staff of teachers who are constantly going out of their way to help students succeed. Nearly every teacher in this building would stay for hours after school to help students with projects, papers, and assignments to help ensure success and prepare the students for college. The dual credit course options are amazing because I was able to enter my first year of college as a sophomore due to my credit hours...Read 29 Reviews

Alum: Northridge was a once in a lifetime experience for me. I walked in the halls as a young boy not knowing what to expect and came out as a man. That includes knowing my goals in life, learning my faith, as well as having opportunities set up for a well rounded future. The basketball program was something that will always have a spot in my heart. The brotherhood between past, former, and future players isn’t even describable. Coach Rey helped me in so many ways on and off the court. I’m now a basketball manager at the University of Louisville, a Division 1 school! I often find myself reminiscing about walking the halls, catching up with my classmates, and talking as well as getting mentored my the excellent faculty and staff. Northridge is something that is truly special, I would go back in a heartbeat. ...-Jack FigliuoloRead 66 Reviews
