Freshman: I love Wheeler so much! I went to elementary and middle school there and just started high school. Throughout my whole experience, I have loved how the school handled difficult topics such as racism and they have done an exceptional job handling COVID. They are great at helping you meet new people and after spending 5 years at the school, I have made so many friends and developed many inter-grade and teacher relationships is that I think will last even after high school. I strongly recommend Wheeler for any budding activists and for anyone who is looking to expand their horizons. Come and visit during Unity and Diversity week in February! We would love to meet you!...Read 102 Reviews

Parent: I have two very different children who have found happiness at Moses Brown in the lower and middle schools. In their classes, their funky uniqueness is honored and all of the kids are respected by peers and teachers alike (truly). The stellar administration and dedicated, organized , caring and smart teachers work together to craft a culture where everybody is welcome and their independence honored while still emphasizing the importance of community, being part of a team, and working for the better good. Academics are strong and rigorous. The school also works to support all types of intelligence, and is overt in teaching skills to support social and emotional well-being. The Friends philosophy is the backbone to the culture of the school, and the community takes those ideals seriously, emphasizing simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship. We are deeply grateful for MB...Read 89 Reviews

Senior: Elizabeth Seton is a very sisterhood-based community. This community makes sure each student is supported and achieves academic success. Elizabeth Seton allows its students many opportunities and pre-career programs so that they can focus on what they want to study in college early. Programs such as these allow students to figure out what their passions include and if they are interested in making a career out of it. Elizabeth Seton allows students to meet and connect with new people by bringing alumni and guest speakers to talk to current students about challenging times they will face in life and ways to avoid them. Also, Elizabeth Seton ensures that everyone in the community feels safe, loved, and understood no matter what religion, background, or ethnicity they come from. Academics are very important at Elizabeth Seton but also creating a sistership between students that will last beyond a student's graduation is an important goal too...Read 311 Reviews

Parent: Our son and daughter entered PCD as sixth graders in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Initially, having our children attend was not anywhere on our radar when we began to explore middle school options for our older son. During his shadow day visit, he just fell in love with PCD and I was struck by the Head of School's message: PCD's not only about graduating students who have excelled academically, but developing people who will be productive, ethical and upstanding members of society. PCD worked tirelessly with us to make the possibility of our children attending a reality. Our children have different academic and personality strengths and weaknesses, but PCD has brought out the best of their strengths and supports them in developing and improving their weaknesses. Small class sizes together with teachers, coaches, administrators and staff who know each student makes all the difference in our children's experience...Read 52 Reviews

Alum: Bishop Hendricken was by far the best investment that my parents have ever made. Over the course of my four years, I was able to develop critical thinking skills, interpersonal relations, and broaden my understanding of society and how we should function as participants in our day-to-day world. Hendricken's emphasis on community is a defining aspect of the school and one that every student was able to appreciate. The school goes to great lengths to serve its students and their surrounding communities in as many ways as possible, and truly help to elicit the true "Hendricken Man."...Read 118 Reviews

Sophomore: I have been going to West Warwick High School for two years and it is an amazing school with a lot of diversity. Students are respectful and humble for the most part and the teachers are some of the most wise and interesting people I’ve ever met. The physical school could use a little work. The building is old and small and doesn’t seem very clean. The after school programs, however, are extraordinary and have really shaped me into the person I am today. Being on the cheer team has taught me a new level of discipline and mutual respect.

Parent: The advantage of a small school is small class size resulting in more attention per pupil, more INDIVIDUAL attention for each student. This is most certainly the case at FASRI. The COVID-19 crisis and FASRI's response is a great example. Our situation in the crisis is not exactly typical. I am older and have medical conditions that would make contracting the virus disastrous. I simply cannot risk our granddaughter bringing the virus home. Mme. Brouder at FASRI listened carefully and within a week or two had a full program designed so that our granddaughter can enjoy a successful 4th grade and I my natural life. The teachers are absolutely first rate, dedicated, indefatigable, care about their students and inspire nothing but confidence. Students come from a wide variety of backgrounds. All this before we even begin the advantage of bi-lingual learning for young children. FASRI is a real find!...Read 8 Reviews

Rich academic curriculum, good inclusion of the arts, excellent opportunity for differentiation based on student needs. The teachers are dedicated and so are the parents to the kids' success. While the administration has been bumpy as the school has gotten established (only 5 years old), they earned their stripes during the pandemic. Organized, safety-focused and diligent about communication. We supplement school with sports leagues and scouting outside of school, which many parents do. Easy to do given the extensive choice you have in the DC area. Also appreciate the international study body with impressively bright students from all over the world. A real meritocracy, unlike other private schools that admit based on VIP status or connections/donations. In the next few years, this school will only continue to advance its place in the rankings...Read 43 Reviews

Parent: St. John's is providing an excellent academic and social environment for our children in middle school. They were not being challenged as much as they needed in our local public school, so we switched from MCPS, and couldn't be happier. They are not only challenged academically at St. John's, but they are also encouraged to think on a deeper level about their faith, which is important to our family. Opportunities abound for involvement in leadership activities, the arts and athletics. The small school setting allows all the children to get to know each other, no matter what grade they're in, so it feels more like a big family. We love that STJES is also teaching them life skills such as talking to their teachers/adults, public speaking, respecting one another, as well as advocating for themselves. Additionally, there is an emphasis on community service within and outside of the school throughout the year. It's been a great experience, and we're very thankful to have found St. John's!...Read 11 Reviews
