My youngest child, an eleventh grader at Boston Latin School just completed the program in November and got an excellent score on the December test. This place offers small class sizes and expert teachers, but what I really like is their willingness to accommodate our tight schedules, to group certain students together to improve their study habits, and their friendly but stern teaching methods. Each of my children had different needs, but the teachers make sure to cater material to improve students' weaknesses and keep their strengths sharp. I truly appreciate everything Tangi has done for us. December 2020, Boston, MA

I am a 52 year old father of three daughters. My oldest will be attending college in the fall. I…read morewas raised in Massachusetts and my father was self employed his whole life. So when I announced to him that I would be going to college, his reply was "with what, I'm not paying for it". I was a good student and got accepted to Cornell, UNLV, FIU, Johnson & Wales and The Culinary Institute. Without his help I attended a community college for my first two years of school. Then I transferred to Florida International University in Miami, which I never saw until the day I showed up for orientation. Both my parents never got a chance to attend a college and I worked full time through all four years of college. Not much of a college experience for me. So for my age group things have changed, touring campus's, SAT prep, ACT prep, Financial aid, essays, thank you letters to school visited, choice, choice and more choices, Etc. This is all a foreign language to me and having a daughter that lives in the NOW and with so many choices and decisions to make. I just can't tell you how much of an asset it is to have Larry Dannenberg coach my daughter and myself about this whole process. I know from personal experience that Larry also handles many other high school students in and around our town of Southborough and that is how he came highly recommended to us. All my daughters will use College Solutions because the rules for admissions change as do our kids from year to year. We started in my daughters sophomore year getting her ready all with Larry's help. This was something I just don't have time for as my wife and I are both self employed just like both sets of our parents were. No mistakes, lots of personal attention, Larry and his staff all very assiduous in their duties when it comes to working with your child. I highly recommend College Solutions.

We are thrilled to have our child at Atrium. Now a 3rd-grade student, our son entered Atrium school…read morein first grade. In two years, he learned to set goals and take pride in his accomplishments while being realistic about skills that still need to be developed. He learned the value of hard work in overcoming difficulties. He learned to work independently and as part of a group. He is learning how to be a good friend and a contributing member of a community, how to be respectful, caring, open-minded and sensitive to the needs of others, and how to resolve conflicts in a constructive and positive way. Most importantly, our son absolutely loves going to school. Every morning, when I drop him off, I feel elated because I see him and other kids rush off into the building with joyful faces. Whenever you visit, you see and feel that students own the school. It is their place, their second home, their world where days are filled with exciting and meaningful projects and collaborative learning - the kind of learning that stays with the child because it is the learning the child is deeply invested in and can be proud of. We also love Atrium because it is about empowering children and building their sense of confidence and leadership skills. It is about helping each student discover and develop her or his unique strengths and abilities. It is about encouraging students to be creative problem solvers and life-long lovers of learning. It is about respect for each and every individual, it is about fostering long-lasting friendships and community. As a family, we feel fortunate to be part of the Atrium community.

Worth a visit if you've ever even had a passing thought of enrolling at an independent school in the Boston area.

We are proud of our son and grateful for his admission to Bentley University. However, calling it…read more"a top university with a significant merit scholarship" is an obvious attempt to inflate the outcome. A $10,000 merit award is fairly common among Lexington High School seniors. Our son's dream school was Babson College, and that was the goal we worked toward for years. After several years of working with Livius, his final SAT score was 1350. That is not a terrible score, but it is not impressive in Lexington, especially among Asian students. We ultimately sought additional support elsewhere. It is inappropriate to now imply that the entire result is solely your achievement. The core issue remains the sales process. We were strongly persuaded to purchase a large prepaid package, and were told at the time that it might even be insufficient for what our son would need. Based on that representation, we signed the so-called "non-refundable" agreement. After years of services, we still have more than 10 unused hours left. That alone speaks for itself. When we recently inquired about the remaining balance, the response was dismissive and focused only on the contract clause, without any acknowledgment of the inaccurate projections used to sell the package. Repeating "you signed a contract" while ignoring the context is not customer care -- it is deflection. Using ambiguous language to magnify results and take credit, while dismissing legitimate concerns about unused prepaid services, reflects poorly on a company that charges premium prices. We stand by our review.

Across the board, each and everyone praises New England Law and when I needed to make the commitment recently between New England, Suffolk, and Roger Williams, it wasn't difficult. **Having gone through the admissions process extensively over the previous months, I write this review specifically in regards to that aspect of the schools and their staff. While Suffolk seems to respond in the manner of a generic school with non-personable tactics and interactions, New England breaks that mold. Every member of the admissions department from the initial admissions counselors, to the director, and even the scholarship committee, treated me with the utmost respect and courtesy. I became reenergized and excited in the pursuit of my JD and looked forward to meeting my professors and classmates. Simply put, New England Law is a great school and produces talented alumni, but more importantly, personable people who also want to see others achieve great things. ***Roger Williams was a nightmare process and took 4x the effort and time than the other institutions. In the end as a life-long Rhode Island, it hurt to choose an out of state school, but I couldn't put myself through 4 years at a place that couldn't treat me as a human being. I view the RWU Dean (both past and present), many professors, staff and even some current students in high esteem, but personally, if you're looking for a law school for 3/4 years of your life... got to New England (or Suffolk, if that's your style).

Still reading? Ok, its bad, but it makes you stronger and smarter (in most cases, some people do lose their minds). This is a law school. Its alright, but I dont know any better but heard some bad stories, so overall its alright. Location - right in the middle of the theater district, 2 blocks away from Boston common and public gardens, bunch of T stops around, etc. Location is not bad, discounted parking is available at the radison ramp. Edunamukation - overall pretty good. There are some real gems, most of the reviews are quite accurate, read ratemyprof.com for details, but most of them have real life experience in addition to superb education. Adjuncts are mostly very nice and their classes tend to be easier then those of full time faculty. There are about 8 classes taught by judges, take those. There is one prof you should avoid. PM me and I will let you know. Social life - its a small school, but if you join the right organizations you can get free lunch and or dinner 2-5 times per week. Bunch of events and free pizza. Administration - I never had any significant problems, Fin Aid office is extremely helpful. Registrar takes its time releasing grades, so beware.

I've only completed one year so far, but I've been doing great and I'd credit some of that to Waldorf. I'd say that Waldorf isn't for all students (some people would probably feel suffocated by the small class sizes) but it can be really great for those it does work for! PS- I'm not sure who the other reviewer is, but he doesn't seem to have attended! Checking his previous reviews, I noticed he also gave the Empire State Building a one-star review (along with almost all the other places he's written about). You can't please everyone.

We were also looking for a school environment that would help us eliminate some of the social media overload. I highly recommend this Waldorf school.
