      My child is entering her third year. Best choice we could have made. She is challenged every day to try something new. She has learned about leadership by being able to be on student council and participate in other activities that aren’t offered at other schools and we looked in to a lot. The administration is very dedicated and cares about every student like they were their own. They go out of their way to make families and students feel valued and respected. Seeing every kid in the senior class graduate and go onto places like Cornell, NYU, Stony Brook and more is amazing. I am confident my child will be prepared for college after graduating from Knox.

      I am a a student here at Knox, in my junior year. I first transferred here in the middle of my sophomore year. Truthfully, when my mother first told we were going to check out The Knox School, I was not at all happy about it. Mainly because I didn’t like the idea of going to a Private School, instead of a Public School. I agreed to go to one of their open houses to make her happy. When I left,I had a whole different opinion; I realized my public school wasn’t going to fully prepare me for high school. More importantly they made me feel at home. When we left the open house, I told my mother that I changed my mind, and that I would like to go to Knox. That’s why I really think attending Knox was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
      The Knox School is such a unique place! The diversity of students, the strength of the faculty, and opportunities that are available to students are endless. I am proud to work in such a special place.
