Senior: Hayden is a great school to attend! Throughout my years at Hayden I have learned and grown so much, both in my academics and in my faith. With Hayden's teacher-to-student ratio being so small, the teachers are perfect resources to use whenever students are struggling. Whether its before school or after school, teachers are willing to set up meetings to answer questions because they want what is best for each of us. Hayden is a great school with great administration and staff, I am glad that I attended Hayden!... Read 83 reviews

Alum: such a fulfilling experience, where I learned things that none of my friends ever will. Philosophy, Apologetics, and Calculus are just three of the amazing classes offered here. My only problem is that this school turns kids into very attractive students for colleges, yet offers little to no academic programs or awards for these students to show it. No AP or IB, no dual credit, and no honor society. Almost anyone at this school could achieve these awards, yet the school doesn't offer them.... Read 41 reviews

Alum: I loved every single minute that I spent at Heritage. The teachers were deeply invested into the students, and wanted them to succeed in their lives, not just getting them to pass their classes. The small class sizes were very nice, for I knew every single person in high school and I was able to develope very deep friendships with both my peers and teachers. The teachers were also willing to take time to meet with students, if the students wanted to talk about anything at all, from family troubles to questions about ethics and homework. The food from the cafeteria was the best! Almost everyday there was a dessert option, and there was always some sort of fruit or vegetable on the side. Chili and cinnamon roll days were my favorite. The classes that I took challenged me to apply myself and to put forth effort if I wanted to achieve the A. All in all there is plenty for any student to do, both in and out of the classroom....

Senior: My experience at Seaman High School has been nothing but amazing! The staff here are extremely knowledgeable and will help you out with anything. In addition, the students and friendly and encouraging. I met some of my best friends here, and will cherish so many memories. Speaking of, freshman year was a little scary, but with the newly renovated freshman hall it was an easy transition and allowed me to meet many in my own grade whom I did not attend middle school nor elementary school with. I have nothing bad to say about Seaman High. It is a safe and fun environment that I would definitely send my kids one day.... Read 207 reviews

Niche User: The involvement of the teachers, administrator and support staff is outstanding. My child attended anothe school in the country K-5th grade and we moved her to JW. I now drive 30 minute one way for her to attend this school. She has more opportunities in learning, the other students and parents are wonderful to work with and very supportive of each other. Everyone is helpful and friendly. They challenge her in classes and help without ridicule when she needs it. Overall great experience.... Read 1 review

Junior: Very conservative. I love the staff, but don’t like some of the students. It’s a nice and average sized community, with the biggest class I’ve ever had being 27. The teachers are lovely and helpful (most of the time). There are many opportunities with colleges, and there is a required class that takes you on college visits. It’s a pretty good school, although due to the area it’s in and me being LGBT+, there are some issues. But, there is a surprisingly large underground LGBT+ community. Go figure.... Read 88 reviews

Parent: I chose TCS for many reasons; small class size, more individual attention, overall higher performance levels than the other private and public area schools, and frankly, the test scores don't lie. Local high schools recruit from TCS because Collegiate alum boosts their ratings. I'm a referral, with friends having both current students and alumni who have thrived academically. The students are exceptionally grounded and emotionally intelligent for their age. The school promotes diversity both culturally and socioeconomically. My daughter's teachers offer structure and clear guidance to help us achieve their goals. TCS's classes on coding and tech are future-focused, and they still manage to emphasize music, language, and visual arts. TCS shapes kids into well-rounded leaders. Beyond academics, we have found an enjoyable and inclusive community with TCS. Through Covid19, the school remained open and worked with parents to gauge their feelings on safety all along the way.... Read 7 reviews

Middle School Student: This school shaped me into the girl that I am today! They have a great staff with teachers who actually care about your well being (which is rare to find nowadays) I transferred to Most Pure Heart after being bullied at St. Matthews and FELL IN LOVE with the school. I immediately made new friends and never had a problem with bullying. They treated me great and the teachers really warm up to you and help you out. They have a lot of opportunities in classes and electives that I loved. I’m personally into art and science and they fulfilled my expectations! Absolutely LOVE this school.... Read 1 review

Parent: I've have had 6 children in the school for over 20 years and could not be happier with the education they received. The faith-based program more than adequately prepared my children for high school and beyond. The staff turnover is extremely low, giving it a family feeling. Now I'm blessed to be on the staff. Totally excited to have this school and staff available in Topeka.... Read 1 review
