Senior: I love it here. As a community, we work together to raise money for the kids of St. Jude every year. Last year, we raised nearly $64,000! We have gathered all this money through local businesses and fundraising in our schools. We hold around 10 events throughout the year to raise the money, and there are other people in the community who raise money separately. This is just one thing I love about the community of Eureka, Illinois. I have always felt safe at Eureka, and I do not plan on leaving the area any time soon...Read 109 Reviews

Parent: When my family first arrived at Baker, we had a very shy 3 year old boy on our hands. He was our first, and both my husband and I were nervous to leave our sweet little guy for a whole day! Today, he is 7, and wow does he love school. He is confident, secure, and can’t wait to see his teachers and classmates every day. When it came time to send his younger brother to PreK, the decision was a no-brainer. The boys reading skills, numeracy, love of learning, have come so easily and naturally. Their kindness and comfort around peers and adults alike demonstrates how the Baker staff and faculty support a community of respect for others. Every person at Baker is encouraged to be themselves, and accept others as they are. The hands on experiential learning shows up every day in our house . Even in the midst of distance learning, the kids stayed totally engaged. With the support of two very committed kindergarten teachers we even managed to hatch chicks at home! I can’t say enough!...Read 38 Reviews

Parent: The Academy of the Holy Cross has been an excellent place for my daughter. She has blossomed into a confident and intelligent young woman. Although her time is coming to an end this year, we feel that AHC has made an indelible impression on her. She has made lifelong friends that she will carry throughout her life. The girls come to depend on one another and support each other through the school year. ...Academically, my daughter was challenged, but the teaching staff was always willing to assist any student in need. They also recognize students for their hard work and offer words of encouragement. Attending an all-girls school gives young ladies strength, independence and drive that is incomparable to any other. The college counseling department is dynamite! They listen to the student/family and recommend schools that meet the student's needs. I highly recommend AHC to any family looking for a high school for their daughter...Read 180 Reviews

Parent: My kids have been attending Basis since before the pandemic, and we are so impressed! Rich academic curriculum, good inclusion of the arts, excellent opportunity for differentiation based on student needs. The teachers are dedicated and so are the parents to the kids' success. While the administration has been bumpy as the school has gotten established (only 5 years old), they earned their stripes during the pandemic. Organized, safety-focused and diligent about communication. We supplement school with sports leagues and scouting outside of school, which many parents do. Easy to do given the extensive choice you have in the DC area. Also appreciate the international study body with impressively bright students from all over the world. A real meritocracy, unlike other private schools that admit based on VIP status or connections/donations. In the next few years, this school will only continue to advance its place in the rankings...Read 43 Reviews
