Parent: I can't say enough good things about the teachers at St. Anne's-Belfield. My child lost a lot of ground learning virtually in public school during the pandemic. His teachers at St. Anne's have gone the extra mile to catch him up without making him feel bad (or even letting on that he's behind). Really love that he has access to learning resource specialists and the school counselor. Can't speak to athletics as he's more of a CS nerd (and the program is amazing btw!), but I understand they are stellar if that's your kids' thing. As with all private schools, I wish it were more diverse, but the school does a good job being intentional about diversity and inclusion so kids are aware and prepared to interact with people of all backgrounds and cultures, even if they don't see a lot on a daily basis....

Alum: As an alum of MSA, I can’t think of any other place I’d recommend more! It’s a fabulous place for students to gain confidence in their craft, themselves, and in their academics. I can genuinely say that college was easier than MSA, because they prepare you to be organized, disciplined and so going to higher ed (or any continuing education) feels like second nature. I still have great relationships with my professors and mentors from my time at MSA, and it’s been well over a decade since I graduated. Parents: if you’re worried about sending your kiddo off to a residential school, don’t be. Your kiddo will grow in ways you never expected, and be so well-rounded, and have exposure to people from all walks of life, preparing them to be great citizens and adults. Students: If you’re wondering if it will be too challenging, or whether you’re “arty enough,” don’t you worry! MSA carves a niche for each and every student, so there’s always a place for you to be uniquely you.... Read 126 reviews

Parent: My children have been attending Riverdale for the past 7 years and we have been extremely pleased with the level of education our little ones receive. The teachers are knowledgeable and caring, the classes are small, and the administration is responsive. Your child isn’t just a number at Riverdale, they’re family. I would highly suggest this school for anyone looking to place their child at a school that will allow your child to flourish!... Read 141 reviews
