Parent: King School more than lives up to its aims of living by "the strength of trust, mutual support, and collaboration" in everything they do! My daughter is in her third year at Upper school and it has been the happiest period of her life. Academically the school excels, but this is balanced by the loving and supportive attitude of the "Staffulty." Truly an amazing school experience.... Read 64 reviews

Senior: I am a rising senior this year at Greens Farms Academy and I came into the school as a sophomore. Even though COVID definitely impacted my experience, the teachers were more than exceptional when it came to stepping up to the challenge. The academics at the school are definitely rigorous, but the teacher's involvement after school helps out a lot for students having trouble. The community is also very welcoming and I would recommend it if you're looking for a school to go to in Fairfield county!... Read 86 reviews

Parent: St. Luke's has been transformational for our family. One child graduated a few years ago and another is there now - they both started as students in St. Luke's 5th grade. My older child would cry before school in 4th grade which led us to start to look at new schools. Within 3 weeks of being at St. Luke's, his teacher identified a learning challenge that his prior public school had never noticed. We worked with St. Luke's to come up with a learning plan that was perfect. No more tears! In fact, this boy started to LOVE school. The creativity, care, and attention that the St. Luke's faculty demonstrates to students in small classes is so special. That same boy is now a student at a highly competitive college, playing a varsity sport that he discovered he had a talent for at St. Luke's, and he is thriving in school and in life. Our second St. Luke's student is having an equally powerful experience. St. Luke's is a wonderful school and we recommend it whole heartedly!... Read 196 reviews

Senior: Wilton High School is a well-oiled machine that produces strong students that will go on to do great things in the world. The curriculums for the STEM courses are rigorous and test the students' abilities to organize time, collaborate accordingly, and persevere. The large majority of teachers at Wilton High School are actively enthusiastic about their field and regularly connect problems to real-life applications. The student body and administration coexist very tightly, as the student government frequently plans events with the oversight of faculty. Extracurriculars are well organized at WHS. Most if not all students can find a club or sport that suits their interests and time commitments.... Read 241 reviews

Senior: I've been a student at Wooster for 7 years and I loved my entire time there. I've seen it go through many changes, but the root of its values still stay strong. The community holds tons of relationships that will last a lifetime. The unique structure of each curriculum truly benefits all of the students with its adaptability for each persons' learning styles. Everyone is different, so they can't all be expected to learn in the same way, and that's exactly what Wooster thrives at. Something I would like to see improve at Wooster is more foreign language options for inside the classroom.... Read 83 reviews

Senior: Center for Global Studies is the very definition of a school that has a family-like community. Everyone has the chance to be involved in everything, and the air in the halls is always positive. Everyone I've met is and from day 1, always was, kind as welcoming--both faculty and students. Finally, the emphasis on learning in a school that puts a global spin on everything, with the reminders everywhere you go and in everything do that you are not the center of the world but instead a member of the human race who should work to understand and celebrate both others and yourself....is very meaningful. Overall, I couldn't recommend CGS more for its environment and the amount of different opportunities for every student there. It really is a hidden gem of a school!... Read 17 reviews

Parent: My son is a senior at Fairfield Prep. I believe he has received the best education he could have had over the past four years. Prep continually impresses me with the learning environment they have created for students. The teachers are creative, outgoing, highly educated, and genuinely care about the students' overall well-being. The experience my son had on the sports teams and in the classroom at Prep far exceeded my expectations. Even through the time when Covid kept my son out of the physical classroom, the learning experience my son had was seamless and robust. As my son gets ready to graduate, I have no doubt that the education he received at Fairfield Prep has prepared him for college. Without hesitation, I highly recommend you consider sending your son to Prep.... Read 129 reviews

Parent: I am the parent of two recent graduates. I firmly believe there is no better high school in Connecticut. You hear family mentioned often, that it's a strong close knit community. On one of the first days of school a coach came over to my car and said, "We really care about the kids here. You'll see." This was the understatement of the year - the caring never stopped - and continues. Nothing could be truer than "Once a Mustang, Always a Mustang." I think most graduates feel this way. My kids received college scholarships (many do. My son has graduated and is working in a competitive field credits Immaculate with giving him the tools for success. What I've noticed from other area parents of public high school kids is the public schools have a focus on certain agendas. Immaculate teaches the kids HOW to think, not WHAT to think. Big difference. Respect, humility, and kindness: all instilled in the kids. No regrets - athletically, academically, socially: a great, great place!... Read 177 reviews

Parent: Great Elementary school. Excellent leadership and amazing music program and well supported PTA. Lots of funds go into improving the overall learning and social environment. The only issue are the physical education classes. My kids used to love PE, but ever since we moved to Wilton school district my kids dread PE. They hate the "pacer" test. Not sure what that is, but I know they are tested on push-ups and other exercises. I understand part of any physical education program should include building strength and stamina, but it would be more encouraging if this were taught in a more approachable way for all athletic levels. In grades 3-5 they should learn to work as a team, and be respectful and encouraging of their peers, not openly criticize anyone who disappoints their "team." They need positive associations with what should be one of the funnest classes. Learning about sportsmanship while building athletic abilities should be a priority over being the "strongest"...

Parent: I am not going to sugar coat my review because it doesn't help a parent that is going to spend money to send their kid there; so here it goes. (1) The Distinguished Scholars Program and High Honor classes are very good. (2) The teachers are good and help kids when needed. (3) The general classes have much to be desired. Kids laugh about getting bad grades and spend a lot of time on their phones (TikTok, Snap Chat etc.) and it is hard to learn in those classes. Even if your child is a high honors kid or honors kid; they will attend certain classes with general kids. (Art, Religion). (4) A lot of kid's think everything is racist. They will label it on everything. (5) The women at ND that handles the admission process is the nicest and is very helpful. She is a pleasure to deal with and will make the process go smoothly. (6) The school needs to work on the character of these kids. Social skills, kindness = D!... Read 214 reviews

Parent: We cannot believe how lucky we are that our family ended up living in Stamford, with our kids attending Bi-Cultural. It is literally the best balance of warm/nurturing and academic rigor. Students in this school are HAPPY, well-adjusted children who learn good values and care about one another. Students in the school are also set up for major success! It's absolutely incredible how well these kids do on standardize tests and in national tournaments. The teachers are fantastic and provide true individualized attention. There is a wonderful love of Judaism and strong passion for Israel that come through daily as well. It is a really amazing school!... Read 6 reviews

Senior: Coming from a small, private Catholic School, I've appreciated the diversity that Norwalk High School had provided. Express myself in ways that I had never done before, as a senior at Norwalk High School, I have served as Class President for all four years, and have learned what school spirit and involvement is all about in order to be the change you with to see in your community. I have been a part of many decision making discussion to shape the future of Norwalk High School. Most notably, I have been a member of the School Governance Committee alongside of parents, staff, and faculty at Norwalk High School. I partake in many electives, such as the Digital Media Communications Academy that has helped me in learning to work with other students and adults to meet deadlines and use different skills such as collaboration and communication that I feel are vital in any workplace. All because of Norwalk High School, I am a more independent leader, and an overall better person.... Read 319 reviews

Senior: As a senior who's gone through the whole P-TECH Program including over a dozen dual enrollment classes at Norwalk Community College and the IBM internship, I can say that P-TECH has certainly given me lots of valuable opportunities that I wouldn't have otherwise had as a full-time Norwalk High student. Students like me can gain the confidence that comes with succeeding in difficult college classes and working for a large company all before they graduate high school. However, given that P-TECH is currently in the process of separating itself from Norwalk High, there are lots of controversies and hurt feelings on all sides. I can't see this getting much better in the near future since P-TECH always seems to be looking for ways to further sever whatever connections it may have to Norwalk High regardless of the implications....

Alum: I can't say enough great things about this High School, not only was it newly renovated when I attended back in 2010 but it is full of staff who is genuinely wants to see you succeed. You do half academics and half technical shop. Contrary to popular belief this high school WILL prepare you for college if you decide to go after you finish your trade. The non-shop professors are highly qualified to teach all of the subjects. You can choose to engage in a club where you will make friends outside of your classes. I was also part of the cross country team. The coaches are very supportive and will push you to be the best version of yourself! If I could change one thing about this school would just be the food. I am sure it probably has greatly gotten better since I left.... Read 80 reviews

Senior: Personally, I love how small of a school it is. It almost feels like a family more than a school. I do believe the administration can do better to interact with the kids but overall it is a good school. Any child who has their future set up would love to explore the trade portion of the school. You get to gain many experiences and opportunity under your belt. They also make sure to help you feel prepared and have a class dedicated to making a resume of your own.... Read 27 reviews

Parent: I work here as a teacher, and both of my kids attend. The school is fantastic. It's a loving community, a wonderful culture to raise children. We have a policy called "vertical integration" that's quite unique. For instance, say your child is behind in reading but advanced in math. The core classes are scheduled to overlap; so that the child may be bumped up a grade in math and repeat a grade in reading/writing; but also stay with his grade-level peers for homeroom and everything else. There's lots of individualized curriculum planning within classes as well. So, academically, it's very well tailored to the child. There's also a good student:teacher ratio, a big emphasis on kindness, and a lot of adult involvement in child interactions. It's very different from the "corporate" way that public schools can sometimes be run. It feels like better, smaller, healthier kind of place to grow up, especially for young children like mine....

Parent: We experienced the absolute highest level of education at RA. Every teacher is what I what put in the rock star category! And the leadership is strong and wise. My children love learning and they were beautifully encouraged to think, dig deeper, and there was never a feeling of overloading them. I have many stories to tell some of which include my son leaving history class and absolutely longing to learn more. My daughter spent time in the highest math class where laughter was a main component of the instruction. They have just the loveliest French and art classes and passionate and deeply devoted science teachers. RA truly encourages sports in which they had no prior skills. My daughter participated in soccer and came away telling me how much she really enjoyed it. We have many great schools here in the Northeast but RA is an outlier in terms of excellence all around and I would even go so far as to say that it is a world leader in understanding the future of education....

Parent: This is a truly special place. My 3 year old twins started in the infant class, then went to Toddler, and began Primary (pre-school) in September 2019. Honestly, as a new mom, I had no idea what kind of expectation I could or should have for early education. The Montessori School shocked me with what I could expect of an "out-of-home" environment - it truly raises the bar. The investment every teacher puts into each child is amazing, the setting is so peaceful, and my kids are thrilled to go to school and do their "work" every day. The teachers are also highly educated (degrees in education and special certification in Montessori). I'd encourage every parent to visit and observe a classroom - it's incredible to see such young children being so independent, and the teachers and environment are purpose-built to encourage self-sufficiency and to engage young minds....

Parent: My twin boys have been going to St. Andrew Academy since Pre K and now they are in First Grade. The education is exceptional and their expertise in teaching has put our minds at ease. The teachers and staff are caring, nurturing and empowering for the students to become their best in their future. At the earlier stage of the Covid Pandemic, St. Andrew Academy became a leader in implementing a distance learning with no hassles and well planning. While public schools were dealing with difficulties in providing their students with a safe education, St. Andrew Academy were on the rollout giving every student that needed a computer and providing paperwork assignments, homework and live information for the parents to activate Zooming for the kids to do distance learning. We are so grateful to have our boys in St. Andrew Academy and we will greatly recommend it!... Read 9 reviews
