   Junior: I’ve been at Charter Arts for three years now. I’ve seen the school at it’s both best and worst. My favorite part of ChArts is that it’s a family…my family, that is. ChArts is a place where I can rap about cell and fill the stair wells with my Tchaikovsky music without a hint of judgment. I can be a pumpkin for Halloween or wear my ugly Christmas sweaters in June, and never be out of place. This is what I call a real family!… Read 201 reviews

   Senior: Overall Lehigh Valley Academy is a great school if you are deciding to go to an international school or examine for IB credits. If you are looking for a regular high school diploma, this school is not for you. The curriculum is very intense and there are many requirements in order to obtain your IB credits. The school is small compared to local high schools but there is still school spirit and fun activities that student council creates. The biggest asset to the sports at LVA is their Step Team, they have had the opportunity to win first place at the State competition and go to nationals! There is dress code at the school. There is a lot of pressure on the juniors and seniors due to the Diploma Programme, they also offer a Career Programme for students who are more interested in engineering or biomedical. The CP program is definitely easier than the DP program but they both offer great opportunities…. Read 141 reviews

   Parent: My daughter has been in EEACS since she was in kindergarten and she is now in the 4th grade. She excels in every way at EEACS. The culture, the education experience are all superior to any public school I’ve experienced. We enrolled my high school bonus daughter who was in honors at another local public school. EEACS was so far ahead that we had to get her a tutor to help her catch up.
   The culture is most impressive, the teachers and leaders are fully invested in the education abs success of each child.
   It is a beautiful and safe facility, all staff is kind and gracious. They treat everyone with respect.

   Alum: TARA is a school like no other. As a high schooler who went to three other schools ranging from public to private, TARA far outshines the opportunities, support, and classes that I took and experienced elsewhere. I came to TARA during my senior year with the support and tenacity of the leadership council and my classmates! They truly are miracle workers and wholeheartedly care for the school, the students, and meaningful experiential education. I would have never been able to travel and experience the trips and productions we went on and were a part of (in Covid times) had I been anywhere else. The classes are small, lovely, experiential, and taught by passionate teachers. The trips are, life-changing, perspective-altering, academic, confidence cultivating, and provide time to connect with your peers and learn more about yourself. As a host student, my time at TARA was significantly different than my non-host peers, but the experience taught me so much that I will take into life…. Read 28 reviews

   Parent: Our son has truly grown leaps and bounds since he started here. The COS staff is more like a little family away from home. Although we appreciate the efforts in traditional public schools, we also knew we needed a little something different for our children. We’re loving the emphasis on art, nature and kindness that’s incorporated in their everyday activities. I can’t say enough good things. We’re excited to see how the next few years continue & we’re happy to say our youngest will attend in a couple years as well!… Read 4 reviews

   Parent: My children have truly found a home at AACMS. It is a place where students are free to be, and discover, themselves. The quality of the instruction and performances are superior. The teachers understand the (often right-brain dominant) artistic mind, because they are artists too! The students allow and encourage their classmates to express themselves honestly. Students encourage and support one another in their artistic endeavors. The school is held back only by the limitations of its space and a small number of students who don’t truly love their chosen art (e.g. a child who does not actually love to draw will not be a positive presence in a two and half hour art class). When they go on to high school, I’m sure my children will hold fond memories of AACMS and return as alumni for performances and just to visit with their teachers…. Read 6 reviews

    Freshman: Lincoln Leadership Academy Charder School is a school of excellence. High School student’s can study music, media, photography and more. Student’s are challenged to exceed their own limitations with great help from teachers and peers.

    Senior: I have been a student at RCCS for 6 years and I’ve witnessed many changes over that course of time. I can say for a fact that the students at the school are very inclusive and goal-oriented. At other schools, it’s easier for a kid to fall into the wrong crowd but here, there really is no bad crowd. The hallways are friendly aside from the annoying lower class levels, but that’s at any school. The school needs work with organization and more access to opportunities since there really aren’t a lot for gifted kids. Average as well as below average students will have an easy time learning here and obtaining good grades due to the attentive staff. Other schools just don’t have that kind of care for their students, so if your kid somehow fails here, it’s honestly because they don’t try. In all, this school has an amazing coaching staff for the basketball team and various after school activities as well. Once this pandemic subsides, I believe this school has potential to gain a 5 star rep…. Read 59 reviews

    Middle School Student: I’ve attended Ave Maria since Kindergarten and am about to graduate this May. Since the first day I came, everyone has been so kind and caring. Ave Maria has been like a second home to me. Our teachers really take time to know each and every one of us. When there is something we don’t understand they will always be right there to help us. They push us to challenge ourselves and strive to do our very best. The bonds and friendships I’ve made will last forever. Everyone in my class looks out for one another. Our school motto is “Work Hard, Pray Hard, Play Hard and Take Care of One Another” We truly believe this! I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to attend a school with such a great community, good morals, high education and amazing teachers. This school will truly be the best education of your child’s life! Go Angels!… Read 8 reviews
