Senior: Berwick Academy has been the best place for me to learn and grow as a student and person the past 6 years. The teachers truly care, the head of school is incredible, and I have never met unkind person in the student body. Here it’s definitely cool to be smart, athletic, or musically gifted - everyone finds their place. The best part is the balance at BA - school work was challenging, but not overbearing. I found time to get my work done, play varsity athletics, head 3 clubs, and drive 2 hours everyday. I’m in tears because I miss this school so so much. Everyone cares about you - whether it’s the lunch staff asking about your day or a random person walking down the path. It is because of the balance and environment that Berwick offers that I am who I am and going to a top tier university! Even my parents tell me every cent was worth it. So thankful for this school.... Read 103 reviews

Works Here: I have been involved as a parent volunteer, part-time staff and now as the parent of 3 alumni. Our children were all challenged to grow, academically and personally, at PCA. They were prepared for college, ready to participate fully in classes, not afraid of a long research paper, essay or film review because they were taught step by step how to write. The teachers are very caring as well as incredibly competent. Yes, there is a cost, but that investment paid off in the scholarships our children received when they enrolled in college. They still like to come back and visit campus because of the community there!... Read 133 reviews

Junior: St. Thomas is a very good community. There is really no bullying or "mean girls" or anything like that. There are a lot of opportunities especially considering the seize of the school, and if someone wants to do something that the school does not offer then they will be helped by teachers or guidance counselors so students are never held back. The teachers are also extremely devoted to their work and are focused on giving students the skills that they will need later on for life rather than constantly making them memorize random facts....

Middle School Student: I like the school but the food could be better. The teachers are very nice and I learn a lot. I play most of the sport there and the coaches are pretty good, but we don't win much. There is a band and we are pretty good. Things are a little different because of the Coronavirus, but we still go 4 days a week. We go Monday thru Thursday and Fridays are a remote day. Overall the school is good .... Read 5 reviews

Niche User: At Spaulding High Schools the teachers put you first. They are truly invested in seeing you do well. They will individually help each student through their questions and projects. The culture is great, a good diversity of social cliques and groups. The sports here are very popular and one of the main focuses. To contrast that, the music and art department is one of a kind. It's not that the technology is state of the art or anything but the teachers are amazing. They will find the right way to teach a student who has plenty of musical background or none at all. The tech building however IS state of the art and is a great place to learn skills that can last you a lifetime! There isn't much I can say that is bad about Spaulding, except... The teachers are pretty laid back, as much as they are passionate and helpful. They can sometimes be too carefree , that could mean assignments might not challenge your newly learned knowledge. That is all! Great school! They put on amazing plays too!... Read 434 reviews

Parent: Our family - parents and kids alike - have loved St. Benedict Catholic school. The faculty and staff are wonderful and work hard to keep focus on learning while keeping things fun. The teachers are warm and accessible with great communication - I know what is going on in the classroom, I know what my kiddos are learning and how they are doing, and if there are any issues it is easy to discuss with their teachers. The other families at the school are friendly and work together to support the school in clean up days and school events. We adore the school!... Read 11 reviews

Parent: USPA has been a game changer for our family! Our daughter was in a fantastic private school prior to joining USPA in 6th grade, but she is a competitive figure skater and it was becoming harder and harder for the school to accommodate her training schedule. We decided to make the jump to online school and the transition has been very smooth. Our daughter has learned to be more independent in her school work and she has very frequent Zoom contact with her teachers and learning advisor in a one-on-one setting. The academics are appropriately challenging and flexible. A great feature is that the students can see their grades every day and can make the time to connect with their teachers often if they are struggling. Since joining USPA, our daughter’s athletic skills have improved tremendously by having a more flexible school schedule, and she is very academically confident as well. We are so glad we found USPA!... Read 19 reviews
