Alum: I graduated from Suffield Academy in 2018 after attending the school for three years. Suffield is one of the most welcoming places a student could attend, with ample opportunity to get involved, improve on all aspects of curriculum, and meet lifelong friends. Suffield truly cares about their students and faculty. Even two years later I miss my time there, and continue to build on relationships I made at Suffield! As a Suffield Tiger, be prepared to engage in all aspects of the community, academics, athletics, the arts, and clubs. Students are encouraged to participate in the fields in which they excel in, as well as challenging them to try something new with overwhelming support! This is absolutely a school to consider for high school/college prep. If you are looking at other similar schools, you truly will not find one like Suffield Academy.... Read 238 reviews

Parent: While sending my daughter to study abroad, I worried about her life and academics very much. However, the teachers and dorm parents in this school proved that my choice is correct! With the combined efforts, the school as a whole improved our daughters physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally. This year, my kid is accepted by the Boston University, and I'm so proud of her! Without the generous help/recommendations from school teacher she couldn't get so many great offers, there is no doubt that SCA is one of the best boarding schools in the state.... Read 42 reviews

Parent: We chose WMA for its strong academic reputation noted for intelligent, caring faculty, a wonderful curriculum and diverse extracurricular activities but ended up getting far more! Our impression is that WMA somehow magically selects talented students from caring families creating an amazing student body full of smart but thoughtful human beings. This community quickly becomes a little family where the students support each other & feel cared for by faculty. WMA definitely has something for everyone. Not only was our son exposed to a vast array of Sports: Rugby, Water polo, Football and the Arts: Music/Theater but a myriad of other wonderful things. Most importantly though is the exceptional student body. It’s a nice balance between a “Mini United Nations feel” & Local Community Vibe blending perfectly students from this rural New England area and from across the globe. We were fortunate to host many students during breaks and now have lifelong friends throughout the world.... Read 98 reviews

Senior: The school has many good teachers that do truly care about the students' educational wellbeing. These teachers give helpful feedback and are always willing to put in extra time to help the students. On the other hand, there are also some teachers who do not give meaningful lessons, assignments, or feedback so the student cannot advance. The facilities and resources are exceptional and the student can truly strive in fields like science and art with the facilities provided. One thing that definitely needs improvement is the food. There was rarely any meals that students were excited to eat. A lot of the meals were those that students disliked.... Read 167 reviews

Parent: We were nervous about changing to PVCA, but everything we were nervous about has been addressed and we couldn’t be more happy with the school. We have 3 kids attending, the teachers have been amazingly responsive and love our kids just as much as we do! The academics are right on and as an educator myself, I am so happy with the learning taking place. My kids are safe, comfortable, happy and learning and growing in the Lord. Administration has been quick to respond and are forward thinking while upholding moral and ethical Christ centered values. My kids get more electives than they would in public schools in a culturally and linguistically diverse community! It’s such a warm welcoming community! The teachers have even shared their cell phone numbers and are happy to communicate regarding our children’s needs. I can’t say enough!... Read 63 reviews

Parent: I like that the school is diverse and very clean they did excellent during covid. Uniforms where I slight bit mor expensive than expected but they do last depend on how your child grows. My child does have a little issue with school lunch although it's not bad, culturally our food is just different, so I suggest giving your kid lunch from home, if possible, maybe twice a week to get them comfortable. all the teachers even the ones that are not interactive with my child do to grade differences, still know her and that stood out.

Parent: Academy Hill understands and completes its mission, which is to offer a faster paced and non-repetitive academic environment for motivated students and their families. Very small classes and veteran teachers have made a curriculum that is progressive without being arduous. Teaching methods focus on active learning, discussion, individual responsibility, and building confidence, though writing in particular is critical to the school's success. The emphasis on public presentation has amazing results in many ways-- psychologically, academically and even in the area of community building. Our child was admitted to a very strong high school and we feel that Academy Hill was essential to the subtle advantages our child gained.... Read 4 reviews

Middle School Student: I've been going to NSA since diapers. Currently, I am in the ninth grade, and I have already received access to so many opportunities. Along with education, NSA focuses on making everyone from everywhere feel welcome in our community. Sure, we have had our rough spots, but hasn't everyone? When I have trouble or drama, NSA is my safe haven to be myself. My teachers' goal is to help students achieve theirs. Honestly, so many of my teachers at NSA have helped shape my bright future. I am always eager to learn, and I always feel welcome in their classes. Along with this, I have always found NSA to be so creative and clever. There are so many fun social activities, especially the pep rallies and football games! Overall, NSA has taught me skills that will last me a lifetime. From making friends, to prioritizing education, NSA will always be my home. I wouldn't have anything else for the world.... Read 63 reviews
