Freshman: I've only been going here one year now, but this school is amazing! After a devastating car crash, I was in a wheel chair for months. Administrators waited outside the school building every morning in order to help me get into the building, and all my teachers were extremely helpful during my recovery process. I feel challenged here academically, which is a breath of fresh air compared to public school. If I could give Fayetteville Academy a 6/5, I would!...Read 54 Reviews

Senior: I love Massey Hill Classical! I have been a student for four years and every single faculty member made me feel welcome right from the start. I would recommend this school to anyone who wants something different with their education. Massey Hill has smaller class sizes so you are able to get more individualized attention from your teachers than you would if you went to a standard high school. Massey is the home of the Pirates, and while we do not have our own sports teams with the exception of the basketball and volleyball teams who compete yearly against Reid Ross Classical in the "Classical Challenge", you are still able to participate in sports of your choice at the school whose district you live in. Very few people are unhappy at Massey because of the variety of programs, clubs, and classes that are offered each year. If you go to Massey, you will always be proud to be a Pirate...Read 123 Reviews

Junior: Attending the prestigious, blue ribbon, school that is Cross Creek Early College is an out of world experience. The teachers there make you feel nice and welcome. They always show that they’re willing to help you and that they have your best interest at heart. Cross Creek also allows you to get a head start on your traditional school peers by providing college classes that you can take. By the end of senior year you should have from 60-72 college credit hours. Not only does it help you with what to expect for college, but you also don’t have to pay as much as you usually would to go to college. During your freshman and sophomore year you take your college classes on the high school premises, but when you become a junior you will begin attending college classes on the actual campus. Being a student Cross Creek Early College is a decision I’m grateful that I made, the classes are rigorous but it really does prepare you for the life out on campus...Read 200 Reviews

Parent: My husband and I wanted an inclusive school that would be an extension of our family, and we found that in the Burgundy Community. We made the decision to send my son to Burgundy in JK and looking back now as he is in the midst of 2nd grade, choosing Burgundy was the best decision. Burgundy is a nurturing community that fosters the whole child, ensuring life long learners. Burgundy leans into a child's individual character and ensures every child is heard and has a voice. My son loves Burgundy and is thriving. I know without a doubt that Burgundy will lay the foundation for my son's continued success, not only in his future academic pursuits, but in life as a whole!...Read 10 Reviews

Junior: I would like to start off by saying that this school has been a great opportunity for me. This school helps prepare and train students on their next step to college life after their high school career. They prepare you on things like academics, techniques used in college, allow you to adapt to a college schedule, and so much more. Some things that are lacking are communication within the staff and everything is poorly managed or scheduled. Other than that, the school is really good at preparing students for the future and gives a safe learning environment for students...Read 105 Reviews

Parent: We have had a wonderful experience during our first year at VCA. Our daughter's teachers have all been wonderful - she comes home every single day sharing something new that she's learned. They have encouraged her curiosity and instilled an eagerness to learn, which will serve her well in her academic journey. She has been loved on incredibly well by everyone in this school, from teachers, staff, and students alike. Our home life has been impacted positively by her attendance at VCA, as she shares stories and lessons from the Bible to her younger siblings and encourages conversation about Jesus and his will for our lives. She has made such sweet friendships this year and we are grateful that she has started young in surrounding herself with positive people who lift her up and who she has grown to love and care about too. We did not initially intend to enroll her in private school, but putting her at VCA has been an unexpected blessing that we are so grateful for...Read 74 Reviews

Junior: Rochambeau, French International school is an amazing place to spend your highschool years. Enriched by a multi-cultural student body, Rochambeau has the mix of rigorous academia and a fun social life. The school is primarily taught in French, following the Baccalaureate curriculum. Students are given the option of classes they wish to develop as their "specialties': these include Humanities, Philosophy and French Literature, Social Economic Science, Political Science, Physics, Biology, and Maths. Most teachers are extremely insightful and engaging, and show off an extremely impressive resume from working at international schools around the world. One disadvantage that the school has would maybe be it's limited class size (200 in whole highschool) However, this could be considered a good thing as most students are really close.Overall, the bi-lingual education that is offered with the IB system serves as extremely good preparation to college, while still being a formative experience...Read 24 Reviews

Parent: I am a parent of two alum and a current high school student. The teachers and academics have been instrumental in preparing my kids to excel in college. Both my graduates are in extremely challenging, highly ranked programs and both find that they have an easier time handling the college workload than their peers. Our favorite part of the school, however, has been the tightly knit community feeling that started in the lower school and continued through graduation and beyond. We are excited about the new esport program and the technological/media opportunities coming to our new downtown campus. Recent renovations in our historic buildings have also made the main campus more comfortable and compelling...Read 66 Reviews
