Senior: St. Andrews so far has been a fantastic opportunity for me! I learned so much about everything from being a coxswain, playing the trombone, painting, drawing, and making genuine connections with people. St. Andrews helped spark my interest in learning about different cultures and people's stories. I have been able to become more well-rounded and to try new things!...Read 90 Reviews

Sophomore: Ursuline is a fantastic community full of amazing teachers, staff, and students. I have attended Ursuline since I was in kindergarden, and I am privileged to be a part of such a wonderful school! The classes are extremely immersive and the teachers are very supportive and able to offer one on one attention and guidance when needed. The classes are all focused on increasing confidence and leadership skills, while also challenging you to push yourself to learn on new levels. The sisterhood at Ursuline is also an incredible thing to experience. All of the girls are so kind and welcoming, and it truly makes you feel so accepted and connected to everyone. I am so honored to be a part of this amazing community, and it is something I look forward to everyday!...Read 133 Reviews

Academically, I definitely feel prepared to tackle college curriculum because Caravel's learning is designed to help prepare you for quick-paced and challenging course loads.

Senior: I have attended The Perkiomen School since 6th grade. Because of the small class sizes and overall small school size, I was able to develop friendships that I expect to have forever. I was a shy, reserved kid and looking back, appreciate the way the teachers were able to engage us in the discussions. In most of my classes, the desks are arranged in a circle to promote discussion and interaction among students. I also appreciate the ability to play on a sports team, despite your skill level. As an average athlete, I likely would not have been able to participate in any varsity sport in my public high school. Now as a senior at Perk looking back, my attendance has fostered my independence, confidence, social skills and has definitely prepared me for the next step....College!...Read 62 Reviews

Parent: Our teen started at Saint Mark's as a Freshmen this year. Despite the pandemic, it has been a smooth transition academically. The faculty and staff truly care about the students. This is evident in the level of communication between both student-teacher and parent-teacher. There are many ways to get involved beyond the classroom- sports, clubs, performing arts. Safety has been a top priority especially due to COVID. Students' emotional well-being has also been a priority. In fact, the school brought in therapy dogs for students and the administration hosts Spartan Strong Days for classes to bond. Once the pandemic is behind us, I think the experience will only get better and better!...Read 138 Reviews

Junior: Honestly, my experience at William Penn has been better in comparison to the other schools I’ve been to, with me being a transfer student. They have numerous clubs, extracurriculars, and AP classes that allow students to thrive. The diversity is also way better than my previous schools, and having different faces and different people from different places makes it more comfortable to me. Opposed to other schools, where it was predominantly one race, and I faced a lot of experiences in which I did not want to face, and just generally hurt...Read 253 Reviews

Parent: SAES is an ABSOLUTELY amazing school. My grandson has been here since PK. He has flourished. SAES nurtures and provides a solid learning foundation for all of the students in their charge. This year 2020 we added Covid as part of the curriculum the head master and his staff have gone beyond the state's and CDC's guidelines to make our school, student's, and faculty safe. We came together as a community and built outdoor classroom. We perfected contactless drop off and pick-up, and Supreme virtual learning for those that wanted to opt out for in-person learning. Our kids her at StAnnes have been in school with minimal incident. Which speaks volumes. What I am saying is if you are looking for a top notch, caring environment, with un-matched education. Stannes is your school...Read 12 Reviews

Parent: Coming from public school system, my daughter was not progressing at all. Schools were overfilled 30:1 ratio. From the first day, my daughter shifted from a child that did not like going to school, to looking forward to going to school and loving her new friends and teacher. Most importantly, academically, her grades improved by 200%!! She learned to read and write in 4 months, compared to her 1 year in public school could not achieve. It is a close nit community based school. Thank you, Mrs. Shin!...Read 2 Reviews

Alum: Delaware Valley Classical School allows students to achieve academically as well as spiritually. The intertwining of Christ in every subject allows for students to ask deeper questions about Christianity which helps students strengthen their faith. The staff and administration exceed the roles of their job by providing unconditional love for the students. But the best part of DVCS is the community. I have never seen such a strong, close-knit community of believers. The moment you become a part of DVCS you are family. No matter who you are you are seen and loved. Delaware Valley Classical School has shaped me into the person I am today and I would 100 percent recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a Christ-centered education...Read 9 Reviews

Sophomore: I have truly enjoyed my experience at Archmere Academy. Coming from a large public middle school, to a small, Catholic school was a big transition for me. I love the academic opportunities at the school. Not only can I challenge myself and find classes that interest me, I also have teachers who are passionate about what they teach and are always willing to help students understand via one-on-one time, questions in class, or new lessons. I personally enjoy the arts program and the athletics program; both showcase the talent of the students and allows students to channel their energies. My suggestion would to be conscientious about coursework. Homework can pile up if you don't manage your time well. Overall, I love coming to school everyday!...Read 168 Reviews
