Sophomore: Maharishi School is one of the most diverse schools I've been to. It's normal to nod/smile/wave when you pass anyone in the hallway. This credit can also be given to the town, where the school is always positively influenced. There's a comforting and supportive chemistry between each of the students and teachers, which only adds to the nourishing environment. I also love the meditation program at my school because it's one of the most effective factors which keeps me balanced during my daily activities & life in general. Even though the environment and academics are great, Maharishi School lacks in providing a diversity in sports, clubs & extracurricular activities, music & arts, and college advice. I personally have to research college advice (such as volunteer hours' tips, important opportunities, etc.) and individually work to develop myself further in sports/music/etc. Nevertheless, I believe there's a chance for my school to improve, especially when everyone works together! :)...

Senior: I have went to Cardinal my whole life and have always felt important. Cardinal is a fairly small school so you are able to create student-teacher relationships with all of your teachers. All the teachers are willing to sit down and help you or help you understand the material. The administration only wants to see all the students succeed. The administration will have different types of activities to reward the student body for things they did exceptionally good at, like testing for instance. If someone is wanting to try somethings like a sport or the musical, they have to opportunity to. Everyone is allowed to participate in what they want to at cardinal. They staff and other students won't judge you based on your looks, ethnicity, and any other thing. That is what I love about Cardinal.... Read 20 reviews

Senior: My academic experience with Ottumwa Christian School prepared me for college course work and the world beyond. The material was challenging at times, but the teachers were always understanding to any who struggled. Some may say the size of the school leaves some to be desired, but individual attention and tutoring is the positive result, leading to increased productivity in the classroom. The curriculum and class discussions are designed to strengthen the faith and character of young minds and prepare them for a life of service.... Read 3 reviews

Parent: Commonwealth Academy is above and beyond what anyone could possibly imagine for their child. We needed to find a small, specialized school so that our daughter could thrive and succeed. It was a thrill to find such an inclusive atmosphere filled with dedicated administrators and teachers. My daughter has an anxiety disorder and OCD. Every single teacher CARES. The combination of education, creativity and fun that they have created is unmatched. The classrooms are small and kids with every learning difference are treated with respect and patience. Without the chaos and fear of a big school, our daughter got past the nerves that held her back and learned to speak to adults and advocate for herself. She had warm and nurturing advisors who saw her potential and appreciated her strengths - they gave her CONFIDENCE. The education and unparalleled college prep she received from C/A is why she's thriving in college today, and why our younger daughter is now a C/A student.... Read 11 reviews

Parent: As the parent of two children in the lower school, I am extremely pleased with SSSAS. The Early Saints teachers make each day engaging for my 3-year-old. The monthly units the ES learn have prompted my son to apply what he’s learned to the world around him (the food unit they completed prompts a nightly discussion about which foods on his plate are muscle foods, brain foods, etc.). His teachers started a recent parent conference with 3 very specific adjectives to describe my son and given the examples they gave me, it is clear that really understand him as a whole child. My experiences with JK and K were also nothing short of fantastic; even during the pandemic the teachers were able to connect with my son. The K and 1st grade teachers have also provided my son a solid educational foundation; they have identified his strengths and given additional challenging work so that he hasn’t been bored. Any issues I’ve had have been quickly and appropriately addressed by his teachers.... Read 132 reviews
