Alum: I loved my three years there! I have had invaluable once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and experiences here and I have grown so much from my journey! Fair warning, it is pretty rigorous academically and, and especially a rather sharp learning curve if you enter after freshman year ,(I was a new sophomore) but, once you find or reach out to the necessary people, it'll make the adjustment so much easier. Though your schedule will most likely almost always be packed, that also means you have a plethora of opportunities to stretch and apply yourself, not just in fields that you cam into high school good at, but in new subject areas and co-curriculars you might have never even heard of before....

Niche User: As a student who has never boarded before Peddie, I'd like to say it's truly an exceptional experience. My main takeaway was how nice it was to present the most authentic version of myself without outside influence. Branching off from home life and being independent becomes highly noticeable when boarding here. Peddie allows students to play critical roles in the community, teaching them real-life skills such as clear communication, time management, and self-development. The students are very welcoming and share a mutual understanding of not putting up with any misconduct towards their peers in any way. This encourages an environment where uncomfortable conversations with one another provide growth rather than belittlement. Everybody here wants to see you succeed; use the recourses provided, work hard, get off to a good start, and you'll come out of Peddie as a well-rounded individual who attends a top university.

Parent: Our son is a senior who has attended The Pennington School since his freshman year and his experience has been tremendous! He has friends from all over the world, his classes have had about 8 to 13 students in each which has translated to personalized and high-level instruction with active student engagement/participation every day, he's participated in sports and multiple activities, clubs and fundraisers all 4 years including tutoring students in Malawi, being part of the Global Studies program, and serving on the "Green Team" where he has been able to make an environmental impact. We hosted 2 international students his soph year who have become family. And he is already set up with where he will attend college next year. This school offers so much that it has been a gift that he has been able to attend for his high school years. I recommend The Pennington School to anyone looking to enrich their child's school experience and to prepare them for the future.... Read 61 reviews

Senior: I am a graduate of VVA’s class of 2021! I can say with sincerity that Villa Victoria Academy is the perfect school for girls! It molds girls into strong, confident, and beautiful young women ready to change the world! The faculty and staff truly dedicate their time and efforts to make sure the girls have an amazing education, a real high school experience, touch into their spirituality and St. Lucy Filippini, the founder of the school. There are so many clubs to get involved in, multiple sports to participate in, and the beautiful music program! The girls there are so welcoming, supportive, and motivational. The parent involvement is incredible and I am amazed by how many alumni still visit the school and partake in the events going on at Villa. My four years there were fantastic and I already miss it! I will always have a place in my heart for VVA! #ittakesavilla... Read 77 reviews

Junior: I have been a student here for 3 years now, and I have had quite the experience with this school. The teachers here are supportive and kind-they really want you to succeed. The students here are like every other school, we have the popular kids and the loners. This school is overall amazing, though it has some underlying flaws. The diversity is not the best, which anyone can see. But in order to add more inclusion into our school, we have the SHADES club, which is a club for people of color, where they can celebrate their differences. Our school has many clubs, from a Journalism club, to a Magic the Gathering club! There is something for everyone at Notre Dame High School, and that it what makes it so truly amazing....

Senior: NJUCA is a very good school to go to. The teachers care about you and will spend extra time with you, the staff as a whole is kind, the education is great, and the campus is safe. The downfalls are that the school is poorly funded, causing restrictions on what the school can afford to do or have. The school is VERY small, so finding friends can be difficult. Overall, if educations what you care about, NJUCA is the place to be.... Read 33 reviews

Niche User: If I had known about Life Center Academy sooner, both of our kids would have attended it instead of another "Christian" school. The administration and staff really treat it as a ministry so the Jesus factor is tenfold any other school we encountered since moving to South Jersey. The teachers are amazing in their care for the students and not just academically, they go way out of their way to help the kids. The sports facilities are the best in SJ and the coaches are all men and women of God, not just coaches. We love everything we have seen so far at LCA and highly recommend anyone considering a Christian education for their kids to look at LCA first! We wish we had!... Read 33 reviews

Senior: Hi, my name is Arianna Alexander, and I go to Trenton Catholic Academy, a Catholic-based school. My experiences at TCA has been a very exciting rollercoaster. My school has definitely prepared me to be a hardworking person. What I love about my school is the acceptance of other cultures and religions. My school has a week dedicated to students who want to embrace their cultural backgrounds. On this week students have different days where they can bring in some of their favorite foods to eat they might have on a special holiday or occasion. We also have a day you can wear attire that represents your culture, and even speak in a language that they are accustomed too in our daily prayer. This is a really special week for all students to represent a special part of them. A change I would like to see at my school is lower tuition for families who want a better education for their child. My school has such a great opportunity for students to thrive as they develop their own identity.... Read 46 reviews

Senior: I love the smaller size of Conwell-Egan as it has allowed me to get to know everyone in school. I truly believe everyone is a friend at Conwell-Egan. For a smaller school, Conwell-Egan offers many different and unique ways to get involved. I've been involved with the basketball team, student council, student ambassadors, and my favorite, Spirit Night. Spirit Night is a one of a kind event at Conwell-Egan which requires months of preparation and practice and culminates in 3 amazing nights of choreographed dances, homemade costumes and props, and school spirit. Spirit Night is truly what makes Conwell-Egan the best school!... Read 163 reviews

Senior: Steinert is a very inclusive school. Between the clubs, sports, and opportunities they offer, there's always something to do and some type of group to be a part of. Despite there being little families within the school, the spirit overall is pretty high especially with events like Spirit Week which contribute to the family like feel to the school. The sporting events are always lively and it feels like no matter where you are you are connected through the pride of the school- Spartan Pride.... Read 247 reviews

Senior: Overall, my experience at Hamilton West was amazing. For one, the teachers truly care about the success of there students. They really love to engage their students in the work they are giving them, which is something I value as a student. Although the work can be difficult at times, it prepares me for a future of learning so I can better engage in my college career and beyond. In addition to the schools academic excellence, I also love the fact that our school has so much spirit. The best memories I have in my years of high school come from dressing up as my favorite tv show characters, wearing holiday attire, and even matching with my sisters on twin day. Overall I would say that I had a pretty fulfilling high school experience, with caring teachers and students, and memories that I will cherish for years to come.... Read 194 reviews

Alum: Having went here myself when I was younger, I had the best time. The school assemblies were fun and enriching and the activities we would have were even more fun. From secret Santa gift exchanges, Halloween parties, Easter egg hunts, water balloon fights, and field day. That’s not even mentioning the countless trips we went on from the beach, to aquariums, movie theaters, everything. The playground there is also very nice, during my last year there it was being renovated so now it’s even better than before! 5/5... Read 1 review

Parent: Princeton Friends School is a truly amazing learning community. My son has been enrolled for two years now, and we plan to stay until he moves on to high school. Ever since he started as a Pre-K student, he has made leaps and bounds in his social emotional skills and has begun to develop academically along the way. I value the individualized instruction, attention to the learner as a whole being, and variety of opportunities outside of the classroom to get dirty in the garden and art studio, move his body in yoga and circus squad, and develop music and language skills. Of course, being outside is a must, and there’s plenty of that, too, through nature hikes and open play. I am confident that as he grows, whatever his interests and needs are, he’s in a community that will support him. And a bonus is an amazing group of diverse and relatable parents and families to experience it all with!... Read 19 reviews

Parent: Our family joined the Chapin community last school year. Our 3 kids all settled in nicely. The school year was interrupted by COVID-19, but the school quickly implemented a plan for remote learning. As a result, we do not feel that our children missed out on any educational opportunities. Our fifth grader wrote a reflection piece about his school year and we wanted to share a quote: "Other schools didn't care if one flower in the garden dies, because they had the whole rest of the garden. But Chapin, though, they see the flower is dead, and they immediately grow it back, and this time it's taller." We know we made the right choice for our family by choosing Chapin!... Read 18 reviews
