    Senior: I absolutely loved my experience at SMA high school! The school does a great job of molding strong young women who are able to voice their opinions both in and out of the classroom. The teachers are extremely invested in their students and take time to build personal relationships to ensure student's success. The sports are very fun and inclusive to new players, but could be more competitive with other teams.

    Alum: Absolutely incredible school, and incredible teachers and staff! I learned so much here and I took so much away from the experience. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a challenge academically, and for those who are ready to be pushed to their limits intellectually and mentally. Absolutely incredible teachers are always willing to help and support students, and are available long after graduation. I only wish I had lived closer so I could stay involved there!

    Charlottesville Catholic School

    • Private School
    • Charlottesville, VA
    • PK, K-8
    • 7

    Parent: Our family LOVES CCS! Our two boys went through CCS and are much better young men and students as a result. The overall environment at the Catholic School is exceptional. Academically, the students are encouraged, supported, and pushed to do their very best in the classroom. The teachers do an amazing job of reaching each student individually which translates into a trusting, caring, and successful school experience for the student, the parent(s), and also the teacher. In and out of the classroom the teachers and staff also do an extraordinary job of instilling discipline, self-respect and respect for others, thoughtfulness, and a sense of community and personal responsibility. Our boys continue to excel each and every year both as students and as young men in our community and I believe those valuable traits are a direct result of the foundation, mentorship, and guidance that they received as students at the Charlottesville Catholic School.

    Parent: My son stared first grade last week. Last year he attended kindergarten and KEP. I can't say enough about the teachers and staff - they're phenomenal. How they have the layouts of the classroom and the smaller class size and the sense of community of it all, I couldn't be happier. We choiced in last year even though we were in district but moved for more space thanks to our growing family, so it's our home school and that was a HUGE factor for our choice in homes. We want to make sure all our kids can bus and be part of the DCE family.

    #4 Best Private K-12 Schools in Denver Area

    Sophomore: I love my friends I made at shining mountain. Although in the beginning it seemed like a great fit and honestly perfect, after a while I noticed aspects I really didn't like. This includes student favoritism by a lot. Because the high school is so small that is inevitable. Also the communication within this school is TERRIBLE. If you miss a day of school you have to ask your friends for everything, and if they don't know your grade will severely suffer. It is crap to make your friends recite the entire lesson, but that is the price of not having textbooks. Besides these I would recommend the school, it is a happy enviornment filled with a ton of cheerful, loving, kind, white people.

    Parent: Denver Christian has been a great experience for both of my children. The community is very close and supportive. Because of the smaller size students can participate in a wide variety of activities. Students are cared for by the teachers and staff. Best of all a Christian perspective is woven throughout each subject and activity. If you haven't visited the campus, it is beautiful and vibrant!

    Boulder Country Day School

    • Private School
    • Boulder, CO
    • PK, K-8
    • 13

    Parent: BCD is truly exceptional. Everything from the teachers and administrators, to the level of communication, to the other parents and families at the school -- every aspect of Boulder Country Day is amazing.

    I didn't think it was possible to care as much as the teachers and administrators do at BCD. They're thoughtful, kind, compassionate, and smart. There is a strong math, science, reading, and language presence throughout the campus. Our very young daughter can sing in French already!

    Dropoffs are fun and easy. The hours are great. Super creative afterschool classes - I'm an especially big fan of the messy art and cooking! There’s a very simple-to-use meal delivery service for lunches. School parties foster the fun side of meeting other parents, weekly assemblies bring everyone together.

    Switching to BCD was one of the best choices we've made. It affects our lives in a positive way every single day and is a truly a gem in Boulder.
