Sophomore: I am a second year musical theatre major at Interlochen Arts Academy and coming here may have been the best choice of my life. It astonishes me how each and every teacher in both arts and academics is supportive, amazing, engaging, and understands the value of your art. You are given so many fantastic opportunities to showcase your art, and they have been doing an amazing job of uniting the school during the pandemic. Not to mention how gorgeous the campus is! Each day is something new and challenging in the best of ways and their gracious scholarships and financial aid is a heaven send, I'm so grateful to be here.... Read 262 reviews

Junior: This is my second year here at Leelanau and this school has been an integral part of my life. The Leelanau School is a wonderful place on a beautiful campus. Surrounded by Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, there is no shortage of nature and beautiful views. A slow river meanders through the campus adding to the natural splendor. The teachers are absolutely AMAZING and are the foundation of the school’s values and success. The hands on learning coupled with teacher’s desire to educate creates a perfect storm of academic achievement. This school is deserving of everything!... Read 23 reviews

Parent: I have a first grader and a fourth grader that have been in Westwoods, and we've had nothing but positive experiences for the last 6 years. I've been impressed with the knowledge and dedication of the teachers, and their communication with me has been excellent. My daughter, before she even started as a Westwoods student, had a speech issue. Several of the teachers were aware of this , and when they would see my daughter in the hall (while we were taking my son to school), would go out of their way to be friendly to her and attempt to communicate with her. I am so glad that we've been part of the Westwoods community!... Read 2 reviews

Alum: As a former student of Rise Hybrid Private Academy, I highly recommend to anyone debating to enroll! Not only did this Academy enable me to excel both in and out of the classroom, but the students/teacher became family. Students receive an unparalleled education while still having fun! I will forever cherish my memories of AP Biology dissection labs, the field trip to Washington DC, even one on one math (which wasn’t my strong suit🤣yet it is still a major memory, proving the impact of this school and teacher!), Secret Santa during the holidays, and many more. Through this Academy, I established a foundation in advanced education as well as life skills such as communication, time management/efficiency, and work ethic. I would not be the person I am today had I not enrolled in Rise Hybrid Private Academy!... Read 10 reviews

Alum: The student body and community of parents are wonderful. The teachers are caring and supportive of individual students. The curriculum is focused on the development of my whole child, their character and academic success. Its alumni go on to be successful in every profession as adults with integrity and compassion for others. Lawyers, doctors, veterinarians, artists, teachers, entrepreneurs, and engineers, I know one of each of these from friends that graduated from SM. My kids love it here, and as an alum I am so grateful I was able to move back and send them to such a great place!... Read 5 reviews

Niche User: I have two children at The Pathfinder School - one very gifted academically, and the other has developmental and learning issues. They master both beautifully and both of my children absolutely love school AND love learning! Example: my learning challenged child was studying the French traders. Teachers organized the two grades and had the lesson by the lake. In a canoe, two teachers come paddling up to the dock and begin to reenact a scene from their textbook (speaking French as well) The children get in costume and assume their roles as traders and the props (furs, goods, etc) are used to facilitate the learning experience. Who can top that??... Read 5 reviews

Parent: The Admissions department made the application process seamless. They were easy to reach; gladly returned phone calls and inquiries; and, assisted with the application process during each step. Compared to other independent college prep institutions, RMA is a small school. However, we were thoroughly impressed with the diversity that we saw during the summer camp program; We were pleased to see that it carried over to the academic year. The curriculum is rigorous. The staff is caring. There are a variety of extracurricular activities that are day and boarding inclusive. Any family "on the fence" about RMA should definitely consider a second look, or reach out to staff. You'll be glad you did!... Read 162 reviews
