What stands out to us is that this school truly focuses on the whole child. Yes, the academics are good, but more importantly, our son has learned how to think independently, treat others with kindness, and carry himself with confidence and respect. Over the years, we've watched him grow into a confident, kind, and grounded young person - something we value even more than academic success. As parents, we've also grown alongside our child. The school supports families with open communication and by bringing in experts to talk about real-life topics like mental health, screen time and gaming, and what the future might look like for our kids - all of which have been incredibly helpful for us as parents. After 10 years here, this has been more than just a school experience - it's shaped our family in the best way.

The "Chef" is the last person I'd be calling a Chef. She has no sense of respect and appreciation…read morefor anyone. She makes you feel less than welcome. She doesn't train, she hovers and yells and spirals out of control when someone tries to do it their own way. Everything has to be done her specific way. You don't even get to cook, you just prep, clean up HER mess and do HER dishes with. No appreciation. People come and go from that kitchen yet she still remains. The "Chef" will shun your child if you're an "add on" lunch "don't your parents give you money for lunch? We can't keep feeding you, some of this lunch is for the kids that pay for it" There was a rat problem in the kitchen and she wouldn't do anything about it. Just laugh it off and never tell her boss about it and demanded food still be made in the kitchen. HR DOESN'T DO anything about her. They tell you to toughen up and just do it her way because it's her kitchen. They tell you to talk it out with her but the "chef" doesn't want to talk, only dictate. She's clearly the problem and only likes who she likes.

While every institution has areas that could be improved, and City of Knowledge is no exception, what sets them apart is their openness to feedback and their proactive approach in addressing concerns. They always demonstrate a forward thinking mindset that puts them leaps and bounds ahead of others. The mere fact that they are one of the few Islamic schools offering K-12 education for over 20 years is a testament to this! The level of professionalism they work to maintain, their thoughtfully crafted curriculum, and the dedication of their staff are all remarkable. I had the opportunity to send my son to their preschool for a brief period and since then, I've mourned the fact that we couldn't continue due to the long distance. The short experience there left a lasting impression on him and I've long hoped that one day the circumstances will allow us to return. Until then I remain supporter of the school and hope one day I'll rejoin this wonderful community.

St. Lucy's integrates compassion into their teaching standards, emphasizes the importance of values, and builds leaders through each of their classes and lessons.

If you're a person of color or someone who values integrity, fairness, and genuine community--stay…read morefar away from The Webb Schools. I attended Webb years ago, and to this day, I would never wish the experience I endured on anyone else. While the school hides behind shiny brochures and overused buzzwords like "diversity," "inclusion," and "excellence," the reality is far more disturbing. For both students and employees--especially those who aren't white or come from ultra-wealthy backgrounds--Webb can be an isolating, dismissive, and downright toxic environment. Let's start with the obvious: this school preys on money. Just like many elite private institutions, Webb doesn't truly care about nurturing students--they care about who can fund their next building project or bring in prestige for marketing purposes. If you're from a family that can't afford legal backup or extra donations, you're disposable. They claim to provide financial aid, but the way they treat students who receive it is another story entirely. They may let you through the door, but don't expect to be treated like an equal once you're inside. What makes it worse is their performative obsession with "diversity." The administration is quick to throw around stats and statements about how "inclusive" they are, but the minute a person of color speaks up, questions something, or dares to stand out, the school turns cold--fast. You'll be labeled "difficult," "aggressive," or "not a fit." It's incredibly clear that their idea of "diversity" is palatable silence, not empowered individuals with a voice. And favoritism? Rampant. There were students who could do no wrong because of who their parents were or how much they donated. Meanwhile, others--especially those who didn't have the same socioeconomic status or cultural background--were constantly scrutinized, left out of opportunities, and punished more harshly for things that the "favorites" got away with daily. Bullying is a major issue here, and perhaps the most telling sign of what kind of school this really is. I witnessed students being tormented--some openly, some quietly--but the administration? Silent. Inaction was their default. In fact, many students felt like they couldn't report things because they knew nothing would come of it. Honestly, it felt like the people running the school were the biggest bullies of all. Their silence and gaslighting did more damage than anything the students could've done. This environment is not just flawed--it's unsafe for anyone who doesn't fit the image Webb wants to present to the outside world. If you're a student of color, please think twice. If you're an employee hoping for an inclusive, supportive workplace--run. They burn out good people and reward those who keep their heads down and their mouths shut. Any challenges to the status quo are seen as threats. I've carried the weight of my experience at Webb for years. I was a student who hoped for guidance, growth, and belonging. What I got was exclusion, manipulation, and the clear message that I didn't belong. This school doesn't build character--it erodes it. It doesn't uplift--it suppresses. If you're looking at Webb as a potential school for your child or workplace for yourself, I urge you to dig deeper than the polished surface. Ask the hard questions. Talk to people who left. Don't fall for the diversity page on their website. And above all--believe it when people like me say: The Webb Schools are not what they claim to be.

In math and sciences, Webb embraces "problem based learning" -- but they have done it in a very…read moresimplistic and ultimately counterproductive way. Their idea is that they just set problems and the students have to figure out how to solve them on their own. In short, their teaching is minimalistic. I have heard teachers complain about this. In some cases it means no textbook to read up on, no explanatory lectures and even minimal assistance during office hours. Most of the time, if you ask a question, you're told to try to figure it out yourself, as if it's violating some pedagogic principle to actually teach you. So you're paying a lot of money for what amounts to going online and trying to teach yourself what they are supposed to be teaching you. Seems like a weird way to run a school. Fortunately you can't do humanities this way, so the humanities courses and teachers are a lot better. Hopefully someday soon they will snap out of this approach. It's too late for me.
