bad management

Quality education. Well worth the extra expense.

Incredible school. Amazingly inspiring teachers, can easily name a few. Warm and amazing families overall. Strong academics and core values for life. Great interactions within the community including the teachers. The character building is so emphasized and this cannot not be measured by test scores. We truly wish we came here earlier.

This a food skool.

In terms of boarding schools in CT, Cheshire Academy has been a very rewarding work experience. The faculty, staff and students have all created an amazing community here on campus. Whether development and alumni relations, admissions or athletics, I can honestly say it's been a joy and pleasure to work with everyone.

daughter so happy there!

its my school

If you're looking for a sense of community, that raises children with not only with academics in mind but love and compassion for others; then this is the school for you.

Awesome place with awesome people.

Very well taken care of

I have worked at TA for over 10 years. So proud of this excellent school that offers many options to students from all over the world. I love this community!!!

Best school really care about there students and staff

This is the leading Pre-K through ninth grade independent school on the North Shore. Any reviewer or "guide" who asserts that Shore rates students on smarts alone does not know much about this school's caring teachers, who are dedicated to children's emotional and social well-being just as much as their academic performance. At Shore, courageous effort in the classroom, on the sports fields, in the arts, and throughout the community are rewarded far more often than "winning." (Disclaimer: I am the school's director of communications as well as the parent of a Shore student.)

The weather isn't really THAT fayer

I went to Advent for 8 years and can easily say it's been one of the most influential things in my life. Right now I'm going to Milton Academy and even after only being here for a few months I know that what I've learned from Advent has been helping me everyday. It's a really unique school and all the fun projects we did, whether making a movie or portraying an immigrant, have translated really well to Milton. I am really lucky to have gone there and I believe that anyone who decides to go there will see how amazing it is as well.

Greenwood gave my son back his smile, self-esteem and love of learning. They are helping to set him on the journey to self-sufficiency. The teachers and staff are exemplary: down to earth, caring, and smart. There is no "we have all the answers" and false promises, but there is optimism. Great school.

I find it acutely hard to believe that anyone would have such an unfortunate experience at the Summer at Park camp! My children have been going to this camp for three consecutive years now and have become a part of what I feel is a 'summer family'. Never once have either of my children come home complaining about being bullied in any way. In fact, the friendships and relationships they have formed while at this camp has moved beyond the boundaries of summer at park property lines, these friendships continue into the Winter months, too. It is such a delight for me to watch as they return each summer to their favorite staff and/or counselors. I have quite often mentioned to my husband that on the days that I drop off and collect the kids, that those counselors have as much of a smile on their faces as they did that morning at drop-off. As for 'Queen Mary' (yes, I too call her that), this woman runs an entire camp! One day I asked how long some of her employees had been at Park only to learn that they return year after year after year. One of the reasons why I bring my kids back each year is because of the stability in seeing the same familiar faces. So, I ask this question: If Queen Mary is 'rude and dismissive and has staff, counselor's and campers call her Queen Mary' then how does she keep staff happy enough to have them continuously return, year after year after year. I have never heard anything so preposterous in a very long time. Yes, she is constantly on-the-move and yes at times she may be otherwise occupied while trying to coordinate streams of cars picking kids up, staff asking questions, children running for her hugs, but dismissive? I couldn't disagree more! She has been nothing short of lovely to me and my family and I am saddened to read such a negative and outrageously offensive review about a woman who shows nothing but respect, time and happiness toward us. While I am sorry for your not having a great experience I am definitely not sorry for the fact that there are many other camps out there for you to choose from! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
