I disagree strongly with any negative review. I am extremely familiar with Notre Dame Academy…read more This is why NDA is superior: The education that the students receive is superior, and that includes mathematics. Teachers are dedicated and really care about the success and happiness of every student. Graduates attend the colleges of their choice and have successful careers with an above average rate of careers in math, science and engineering. They do not feel limited by gender. The peer group is universally positive. There is no bullying at the school, and no one breaks the rules, other than a uniform infraction. Young women honestly have fun together without the distraction of boys. But there are plenty of occasions to meet boys, the school sees to that! Girls graduate with friends for life. The sisterhood is not a myth. The moral teaching at NDA is something that students do not get at other schools. Students are taught social justice and tolerance without it being didactic. They are taught to respect themselves and others. And, you don't have to be Catholic to be happy at NDA. There are students of all religions. In short, I would recommend Notre Dame Academy to anyone!!

Ahh, high school. Smell the memories…read more So, I had to learn the hard way that when you leave home, you tend to idealize it. I tend to think of this place as a kind of breeding ground for radical feminism sprinkled with a little mass on the side. With my ten year reunion rolling around, I was a little too pumped up to get an email from our 'class rep' addressed to everyone. It's not that I intended to go exactly (in fact I had a conversation exactly to the opposite effect with my close friend from high school recently), but there was something about remembering all those girls. My memories of the nice nuns and the green tiled hallways (we used to refer to our school as a giant bathroom) all came rushing back. ZZzziip (you know, that record noise where you come back to reality)--- when I emailed our rep to inform her that I would not be attending, she made it totally apparent that she didn't have a *fucking* clue who I was! How dare she! I was rememberable, damnit! I did stuff! No, I didn't sleep with multiple members of the football team at our brother school, but I was there; I was. . . Yea, so high school sucks. I know I should have remembered this, but I didn't. This is just a word of caution to all of you out there who might be overly sappy about their whole experience: they won't even remember you!

Everything good we've heard about Milton Academy seems to be true so far in our first year…read more Aside from their academic reputation, it's also apparent that Milton focuses heavily on developing community citizens. They engage students by encouraging volunteer time during school hours, and also parents by allowing them to interact to help students in various ways. The curriculum allows students to take lessons in chess and Chinese even beginning in Kindergarten. There is a curriculum plan for the year even in K -- but they fold teaching into creative ways of learning, and the students seem to love being here. The campus is expansive and impressive, but also inviting and playful. There's always a good positive vibe and energy around campus. I especially like how open and inviting the Head of School and leadership are to questions and feedback. They openly encourage parents to inquire and provide input so they can continue improving.

My son just graduated the other day. I think it speaks volumes my younger son will never ever…read moreattend Cardinal Spellman in Brockton MA. We had four years worth of experience. Mr. Hodes (President) lacks knowledge and experience in how to appropriately interact with families from other backgrounds, other than his own (white). In 10th grade, my son got into a physical altercation with another child. This was an isolated incident. I do not instill violence in my children. There was a "zero tolerance" policy in place. So they suspended him and naturally I was enraged by their inability to be open to another approach/ perspective. I emailed and met in person about my concerns. I researched and provided reputable resources to support my concerns. Additionally, my son has always struggled academically, due to being formally diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. He just had a most recent psychological testing by my district that further supported key components that should have urged them to reevaluate their policy. After all that time, energy and effort, it amounted to nothing. Instead, Mr Hodes personalized my advocacy and embraced his ego and privilege of being a white! How typical! Later that same year, I came across him at my sons basketball game. He looked me right in my face with disgust and couldn't maintain his professionalism, especially given his title. He is a non entity, so I found humor in it and was satisfied seeing him for who he really is. Then Mariann Hogan was my son's guidance counselor! What a joke! I have my MSW and basic skills to create a healthy experience under the scope of a guidance counselor was not present. Each year, a new academic support plan was to be developed. I was only able to get two plans out of four years (freshman and sophomore year). Half the time the teachers didn't adhere to the whole purpose of the academic plan. The worst of it all is senior year, during the most critical time of the college application process, she takes three weeks off. There was no one to take her place so my son had the crucial support he needed. This was an extremely stressful time, which should make sense to the average school personnel. To no surprise, my son backed out of the idea of college. Mrs Hogan sent a very strong message with her careless absence and lack to interpersonal skills to have built an appropriate relationship with my son. The whole school needs to get revamped and embrace Critical Race Theory. Culturally, so lost!

VERY happy with this school, your child would be lucky to attend.

The school itself sucked. I graduated five years ago and I can say with certainty that some of the…read morestaff and educators are horrible. The physics teacher was condescending with his "I'm sorry you feel that way." Reply every time you had a legitimate issue. Some of the administration were horrible and one actually made an Acquaintance of mine cry because they made a threat to tell their parents about the people they were hanging out with (despite them having no issues). The worst one for me is that I had an IEP and they had a meeting with me about it without my parents even present or informed. I wasn't 18 or an legal adult and they had no reason to do so. Unfortunately the group of good people there doesn't outweigh the horrible ones.

Everything about Snowden International School at Copley is fantastic. This is a high school that…read morereally shows the students how much they care. There are limitless after school options, and four years of a language. When I went, they offered Mandarin, Japanese, French and Spanish. I took French. On top of everything else, they go on field trips to different countries every single year. I love everything about Snowden and even considered becoming a high school teacher just to work there, until I discovered I hate teenagers which is neither here nor there. Long story short, Snowden is a fabulous high school.

It allows the child to learn in their own time removing, shame, pressure and ultimately, anxiety. And yes, they learn. My 6 year old is reading chapter books. What it does, is gives them the gift of actually learning for enjoyment. The teachers are nurturing, accommodating and the facilities are excellent. If you're on the fence, check it out- I believe tours go year round. Also worth visiting is the elementary program where not only academia (like math/ reading etc) is taught, but yoga, breath work and organic gardening are practiced. Cannot recommend enough.

I can't say enough good things about BC High and am very, very happy my son is able to attend…read more He's a junior and has grown to be an incredible student and "man for others." Every staff and faculty member along with parents of students I have met are very enthusiastic, helpful and are huge supporters of the school. They teach kids how to take responsibility for their actions & their lives and teach them "manners" all while providing a fabulous education. My son has made many friends and simply LOVES going to school there. For him it works fabulously. I feel as if he is getting a far superior education that he would have in our town, even though our town has a good high school. I would highly recommend BC High and feel fortunate I was able to send my son there.

If you ever dreamed about a living in a small seaside town with a commute to Boson that's…read moreapproximately a 1/2 hour, Nahant is your town!!! This small what I can only describe actually as an island town, because the only way to get to this town is on one road called the Causeway. Other than the Causeway you only have two other ways to get there. The first is to walk along Nahant Beach from Lynn. FYI they do have a nice walking/bicycle path that stretches along the entire length of the beach. The 3rd and last way unless you take a helicopter would be by boat. Once in Nahant you will immediately feel as if you stepped back 50 years in time and are safely placed in a quaint little town somewhere in Americas long forgotten past. Everything about this town screams 1950's America. Let's talk beaches. Nahant has some gorgeous beaches. From Nahant's premier beach (Nahant Beach) to small untouched almost private spots like Canoe Beach. You will definitely leave the island happy. The houses, believe it or not are very affordable for such a location, and so many with a fabulous view. They also have a nice ball park and some great food spots. If you go for one day, take a quick peek at the library etc. as some of the older structures on the island are very pleasurable sites if your into architecture. I give Nahant a Solid 5 Stars
