Town in Illinois
Current Resident: Galesburg is a very interesting city. It has the rich history of Carl Sandburg as well as Abraham Lincoln. Though these are things the town is proud of, the majority of people you will encounter are all about the railroad here. It helps to bring in a lot of jobs and create a very diverse community. Galesburg is a great community and a pretty great place to live, excluding the public schools.... Read 69 reviews

Former Resident: The small town experience is there, but there are many pros and cons to the lifestyle. Some people are small minded and tend to use their judgements quickly which creates a hostile environment in that sense. That being said, it is safe, family friendly, and cozy.... Read 16 reviews

Current Resident: It is a very welcoming community from my point of view. It's also a very close-knit type of community where everyone knows everyone sort of thing. Most everyone is involved in some way in the community. Everyone goes to support all of the local school's activities, from sports to the musicals put on every year. There are so many people that just want to see the community thrive, and help out in whatever way they can. There is a local summer camp sort of thing that is on Tuesdays and Thursdays, put on for two hours, for the local kids to come and have fun, and get a meal in, and gives opportunities for the local high schoolers to come to volunteer their time, and really connect with the younger kids....

Parent: The Admissions department made the application process seamless. They were easy to reach; gladly returned phone calls and inquiries; and, assisted with the application process during each step. Compared to other independent college prep institutions, RMA is a small school. However, we were thoroughly impressed with the diversity that we saw during the summer camp program; We were pleased to see that it carried over to the academic year. The curriculum is rigorous. The staff is caring. There are a variety of extracurricular activities that are day and boarding inclusive. Any family "on the fence" about RMA should definitely consider a second look, or reach out to staff. You'll be glad you did!... Read 167 reviews

Former Resident: Salem is a great community that pulls together when tragedy strikes. Last year, our community lost a beloved high school athlete whose younger brother was also critically injured in that same vehicle accident. Our community banded around this family, raising funds to help with hospital and travel expenses, offering emotional support, holding prayer circles, and so much more. If you are looking for a close-knit community to raise your family, it does not get any better than Salem, IL.... Read 1 review

Current Resident: My experience in the Oak Run community is really great. Oak Run will always be home for me as long as I live. I have grown as a person, son, and as an athlete here. This place is really fun to live here especially during the summer. In Oak Run there is a big lake where many people as myself like to go boating. There is a basketball court where I spend most of my summer at. What I really like in Oak Run is the fact that it's really outdoorsy and it fits my type of lifestyle. The only thing I would change would be that there were many places to go eat. There is a gas station and the bar at the golf course. Finally Oak Run is an amazing place to live and a great place to have some fun.... Read 1 review

Parent: Commonwealth Academy is above and beyond what anyone could possibly imagine for their child. We needed to find a small, specialized school so that our daughter could thrive and succeed. It was a thrill to find such an inclusive atmosphere filled with dedicated administrators and teachers. My daughter has an anxiety disorder and OCD. Every single teacher CARES. The combination of education, creativity and fun that they have created is unmatched. The classrooms are small and kids with every learning difference are treated with respect and patience. Without the chaos and fear of a big school, our daughter got past the nerves that held her back and learned to speak to adults and advocate for herself. She had warm and nurturing advisors who saw her potential and appreciated her strengths - they gave her CONFIDENCE. The education and unparalleled college prep she received from C/A is why she's thriving in college today, and why our younger daughter is now a C/A student.... Read 11 reviews

Senior: I have been a student here since Lower School (elementary school) and I am currently a Senior. The opportunities provided in education, art, music, athletics, community, leadership, research, and more are simply incredible. Flint Hill has allowed me to join several clubs and become a leader of multiple. I am in the Spanish Honor Society, International Thespian Society, Major Minors A Capella group, and more. I have been given this amazing opportunity through their spectacular financial aid resources. If I could rate the school any higher, I would give it a 100,000/5!... Read 87 reviews
