Cranbrook Schools

• Private School
• Bloomfield Hills, MI
• PK, K-12
• 215 reviews

Senior: This school has a great environment that fosters learning. Every classroom has a good learning environment: students are attentive, and teachers collaborate and give respect back to the students. However, the culture of Cranbrook needs work. I find that many students are entitled or do not realize the privilege they have even over other students in their class. I have really enjoyed using Cranbrook's facilities and making best friends with students from all over the world. As far as rigor goes, this school is understandably harder than the surrounding public schools: it is a college prep after all. However, students have a choice in their course load to customize it to their limits, and I have found that teachers are always willing to help when approached.

Detroit Country Day School

• Private School
• Beverly Hills, MI
• PK, K-12
• 112 reviews

Alum: My experience was very positive, and I felt that the Upper School really prepared me for college. The transition of going into University of Michigan after graduation felt like I was still in high school, since the progression was very natural. I believe that without the help of the Upper School's rigorous academics and extracurriculars requirement, I would not have had the study and note taking skills and time management skills necessary to be in the top 10% of the College of Engineering, even as a junior.

Notre Dame Preparatory School & Marist Academy

• Private School
• Pontiac, MI
• PK, K-12
• 90 reviews

Senior: I've absolutely loved my time at Notre Dame Prep. I've been here for seven years, from middle school through high school, and I have always been blessed with academic challenges. All of the teachers are very focused on making their respective subjects enjoyable and informative to us students. I believe that the extracurricular opportunities, such as clubs and athletics, are beyond what I could ask for. Overall, I have loved my seven years at NDPMA, and it will be a bittersweet ending to my student career when I graduate this coming May!

University Liggett School

• Private School
• Grosse Pointe Woods, MI
• PK, K-12
• 72 reviews

Senior: University Liggett is my home away from home. Since the community is small, the teachers can focus on every student and everyone knows each other. The teachers are extremely supportive of what is important to the student, and many of the classes are flexible according to the student's passions. Students enter University Liggett intelligent and motivated, and they graduate an expert in subjects they care deeply about with a strong sense of themselves and how to succeed. I have treasured my experience at University Liggett.

Academy of the Sacred Heart

• Private School
• Bloomfield Hills, MI
• PK, K-12
• 58 reviews

Freshman: I absolutely love Academy of the Sacred Heart! It is a small community and it offers so many opportunities for students to volunteer in the community. We take annual mission trips across the world that exposes us the many people, cultures and traditions. I love the block schedule of classes. It is preparing me for college. The school offers a great way of how technology is integrated into our curriculum. Our teachers care about our education and they ensure that we get the most out of their classes. They make themselves available to all students. I would love for the school to be exposed to a more diverse student population and I believe that the school is striving towards that goal. There are many opportunities that we serve in the community by participating in our bi-weekly service appointments. I have had the opportunity to work in soup kitchens where I am feeding the hungry. Serving m community is a great aspiration for me and I love the opportunity.

Plymouth Scholars Charter Academy

• Public School
• Plymouth, MI
• PK, K-8
• 7 reviews

Parent: I have two sons that attend PSCA. While some consider the work "rigorous" my wife and I feel our boys are being pushed right to where they need to be. No more, that is neither feels "behind" and no less, that is, neither feels "bored". The teachers and students come from diverse backgrounds and are all very supportive. the parents are great too, except in the drop off/pick up line... But it beats 45 minutes on the bus.

Everest Collegiate High School & Academy

• Private School
• Clarkston, MI
• PK, K-12
• 48 reviews

Parent: Our 3 children attended Everest Academy & Everest Collegiate. It was the best family decision we have made. Our 3 kids were well prepared for college and well prepared for life's challenges. Our children can view situations with an open heart & mind & make decisions based on the fundamental truths of what is right and just. It was important that our children understood the history & teachings of the Catholic church. There is no Catholic school in this area that is teaching the Catholic faith like Everest. If your faith is important to you and you want your children to understand what they believe and why then this is the school for your family. We feel you can get a good education at other schools but what makes Everest different is that they incorporate God's truth and teachings into their subject matter. As a parent, I also learned truths & traditions about my Catholic faith that I was never taught. We grew in faith as a family, you can not put a price on that!

Rudolf Steiner School of Ann Arbor

• Private School
• Ann Arbor, MI
• PK, K-12
• 11 reviews

Sophomore: Steiner is a second home to me. The teachers care deeply about students and want to help them succeed in school and in the real world. They take time to work with students one on one academically and emotionally. Students are seen as a whole person rather than a grade point average. The school building itself is beautiful, covered in art of past students and current ones, it is a meaningful tapestry of hard work, care, and learning.

Southfield Christian School

• Private School
• Southfield, MI
• PK, K-12
• 80 reviews

Parent: It was tough finding my very bright and compassionate child the right middle school. Several friends and colleagues suggested SCS. We couldn’t be happier with this choice. The school supports and challenges my child academically and spiritually. The course work is rigorous and consistent. My child is learning more about the Bible than even I know. It is a safe environment and each time I volunteer the students behavior towards me and each other is impressive. This is my child 3rd year and there has never been a fight in the school. I did not give a 5-star rating b/c the area of improvement I see is more diverse extra-curricular activities/clubs for the middle schoolers. The students are talented and bright; they need more opportunities outside of the classrooms to serve as leaders and contributors in the school space. Also, look into grant sponsored clubs so that students can participate without a fee. Paying $100+ to participate in a school club greatly limits student involvement .

High School Sophomore: I loved this school! Even though there were uniforms, I still loved it! The fact that this school is small makes it feel like everyone is family! Everyone knows each other really well. The academics were rigorous as well the moral conducts. If I could do it all over, I would choose this school again because it was a very welcoming school that made one feel like it was their second home!

Auburn Hills Christian School

Parent: Auburn Hills Christian School is truly one of a kind. The culture of the school is made up of a mix of diverse cultures and ethnicities, but the school functions like a family. When we toured the school, we knew that this was the right place, because you could FEEL the love radiating from every staff member and student. AHCS' academics and after school offerings are excellent, but I can't stress how much of an impact this school has made on our family. We are truly grateful for having found this place.

Oakland Christian School

• Private School

• 64 reviews

Parent: For motivated students, the sky is the limit at OCS. My son (OCS 2013) just graduated from U-Michigan Engineering and is working in robotics. His best friend from OCS now works in aerospace engineering. My daughter will graduate this year headed to Emory, looking at pharmaceutical or medical research. All of these young adults are living vibrant Christian faith that was nurtured at OCS. Yet the school encourages individualized growth. OCS grads have also become mayor, professional hockey and soccer players, ministry leaders, teachers, nurses, statisticians, etc. OCS offers great opportunities for students to grow in to who they were meant to be!

Parkway Christian School

Senior: At parkway the teachers care about you and see you as more than a student, they see you as humans and try there best to help you thrive and succeed. Parkway provides a safe atmosphere not only for learning but to grow in your spiritual beliefs. One of the things I’d like to see changed about Parkway is there class offerings. They give very limited and basic options and it is hard for advanced students because they have limited options and it’s either very advanced or not hard enough.

The Christian mentoring from faculty and older students is invaluable and support our students' development into fine Chist-following adults.

Keystone Academy

Parent: My 2 kids are different types of students. With this school & our family working as a team they both get what they need. The communication is wonderful at Keystone. In order for things to be good for all parties involved communication is key! I am also grateful for their ability to listen & act. They love feedback! It’s a good community. My 1st has been there since Kindergarten & my second since Young 5’a. My oldest is now in 7th grade & my yougest in 4th. If your child is entering the school for Young 5’s or Kindergarten I recommend your child to be tested. You will get the best advice & recommendation from the Kindergarten team.

Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic School

Alum: I loved the teachers at lakes, as well as most of the administration. They helped me develop as a person and prepare for college. The class sizes are small and you are likely to have the same teacher many times, which is great! Diversity was lacking, but they have been actively trying to make that better by installing a new special needs program, and taking more exchange students.

Parent: The teachers, assistant and administrators at LCS are second to none! They care about each and every student and go above and beyond to ensure each one has an opportunity to thrive academically. Each of my children are so grateful for the loving, Christian environment where they are able to hear about Jesus every day. Excellent student to teacher ratio. School has moved to Brighton across from Brighton High School and is now very centrally located. I love that, thanks to the help of LCS, my oldest will graduate this year with a semester of college completed - free of charge! My children love playing sports at LCS, including cross country, soccer, volleyball and basketball. Coaches are top-notch in each sport. Livingston Christian Schools is a total blessing!

Niche User: This school has taught me so much about Jesus, myself, etc. I've never met such cool people in my life! Never have I had so much in common with people (I still stand out in many ways), but I'm really sad we most likely wont see each other again. It's so weird that we graduated, because I just got used to everything, got comfortable, and just started liking myself. I'm ready for a new chapter in my lilife(scared), but I can do it!
