The school places an impressive amount of effort into helping students to prepare for life in college, and there are a wide variety of resources available for students to use to help them with choosing the right school.

Parent: After studying and visiting schools in the Raleigh-Cary-Durham area, we find Ravenscroft to be, hands down, the very best. Challenging, engaging academics are a longstanding tradition at this 150-plus year old school. The Lead From Here threads that connect academics, character development, athletics and Fine Arts is just one of the school’s cutting edge initiatives.

Senior: I love, love, love Carolina Friends School! It has been truly life-changing for me. Many say that it's an "easy" school--I entirely disagree. To outsiders, it may seem hard to fail, but that is only because the staff is so loving and supportive of their students.

St. David's School

• Private School
• Raleigh, NC
• PK, K-12
• 33

Alum: St. David's created this community of friends that I will always have to fall back on throughout life. We endured so much together through our schooling experience that we became an incredibly close-knit group of friends, not just peers or classmates- friends. I tried going to another school, public specifically, thinking it would have a wider variety of offerings with more people and a more competitive atmosphere athleticly and academically. I found neither and it was during that year away, my freshman year of high school, that I truly began to understand the level of preparation and trust in ourselves St. David's was equipping us with. Combined with the relationships forged deep in discussion and discovery, this unique combination created an atmosphere that was completely irresistible. I am constantly discovering new benefits from an educational experience at St. David's, even as I go throughout my journey for higher education.

North Raleigh Christian Academy

• Private School
• Raleigh, NC
• PK, K-12
• 111

Senior: I have attended North Raleigh Christian Academt for two years. North Raleigh Christian Academy provides all the important things a person would want to know such as: great teachers, welcoming students, and great opportunities for one to partake in. By describing the teachers, I say each teacher has their own unique way of teaching. They all know their material and prepare students well for any quizzes or test. Most of the teachers are understanding and merciful towards the student’s grades. Most of the students are very welcoming especially those that have attended for many years. They welcome you to sit with them at lunch as well as shadow you to your classrooms if you ever get lost. The students are very supportive as well. Lastly, North Raleigh Christian Academy offers many opportunities whether they are sports or extracurriculars. They are good number of sports to choose from and there are many clubs as well.
