Parent: Deerfield is a finely tuned machine with 225 years of practice educating some of the best CEOs, politicians and educators in the US. They have hands down the best facilities, teachers and admin and support staff you can find. The course rigor is off the charts, the teachers are engaged and love their students. The admin including college advisors and health professionals deeply care about both mental, emotional and physical well being of their students. The coaching staff is par excellent. Your child will never be bored. All school breaks have optional trips so you can be productive even as an an Int'l student that doesn't get to visit your family often. Some say the food is great, I think it's better than college dining hall food. During the COVID-19 pandemic, D.A. managed the crisis like world class health professionals. Like all boarding schools, there is always a little room for improvement. I would recommend more DEIA training and more $$$$$ support for the ARTS.... Read 59 reviews

Junior: At ARHS, students are taught how to think critically instead of just memorizing facts. There aren’t as many traditional assessments and students are encouraged to demonstrate their knowledge in a creative way that makes sense for them as an individual. There is a strong sense of community and acceptance, and diversity is celebrated. There are opportunities in all fields, including music, visual arts, dance, academics, sports, and clubs. With a wide range of electives, you are able to fully explore your interests. Students are also encouraged to speak up if they find something unjust. I have found that ARHS tries to prepare students for higher education (university, vocational school, etc) as well as for functioning as a thinking and productive individual in society....

Works Here: As a contractor working with the school to set up a state of the art indoor air quality protocol to protect their staff and students, I have been amazed at their caring and unselfish approach to the upgrades on campus. Their investment in the health and wellbeing of everyone on campus is a model for all to follow and I am sure they approach all aspects of operating this fine institution in the same manner!

Parent: Highly recommend! Bement is the right school to international families that want to send their young children to a faraway country. Bement has innumerable merits. Competent teachers, freimily peers, organic foods, idyllic scenery, systematic curriculum, advanced math class open, immediate communication between parents and teachers, pick-up and drop-off at the airport by Bement teachers (How relieved!) etc. Bement fulfilled my two expectations academically and emotionally. My son would say, “All the teachers are like an encyclopedia.” I also remember how energetically school nurse, dorm parents, dorm administrator, and school doctor communicated with me and set out actively to cure my son when my son’s collarbone was broken. Even though I couldn't go to US in this Corona situation, all the teachers took him to three orthopedics and connected doctors with me by video call. The close cooperation with parents makes me trust and love Bement. I respect all the teachers!... Read 17 reviews

Parent: Both our sons have attended EBS, and it has been an outstanding experience. The staff care. The teachers are well trained. The academics are thoughtful and evolving. Our boys developed a great friendship in this nurturing atmosphere combining dorm life, sports, activities, and the classroom. The hillside setting is beautiful. The facilities are modern, well maintained, and the new science and arts building is a stunning example of form and function blended seamlessly into a wooded backdrop. Few 6-9 schools can rival Eaglebrook's overall experience.... Read 7 reviews

Works Here: I love working at Four Winds School. As a teacher, it's so wonderful to have an opportunity to make deep, years-long connections with my students, and to know that they are truly in an environment where they can learn and grow at their own level and pace. Unlike when I taught in a traditional public school setting, I can honestly say that each and every student learns every single day, which is extremely heartening to me as an educator. If I had children, I would absolutely send them to Four Winds School because I know they would not only receive an excellent education, but that they would be supported socially and emotionally. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions about our small school!... Read 5 reviews
