    There are many places that I would consider overrated. Chaminade is not one of them…read more As a relatively recent graduate, I very much feel as if it prepared me for college. I dare say many of my college classes are easier than those I took at Chaminade. The workload was pretty bad, but again this prepared me well for college and gave me good study habits. I graduated here before they started offering their AP courses, but I'm assuming the academics are still top-notch. They were pretty strict with things like uniforms, cheating, and general classroom nuisance, but I really don't recall many egregiously unfair punishments handed out. Most of my classmates were great and I'm still friends with many of them in college. I never really saw any bullying going on, and even those who I didn't like the most were better people than most at other schools. In terms of the good morals stuff, yeah I'll say that part's a little overrated. They definitely teach you to be the best person possible, and I will say most of my classmates were good people. But some parents try to act like everyone who goes here is a saint or never does anything bad in their life. This just isn't true. A lot of drinking and drugs (mostly just weed) goes on here. Again most of even those who party and stuff are decent enough, it's just perhaps not the most "saintly" place ever like some parents will have you believe. It's one of those places that you don't like, at the moment when you're going there because of the course load and how stressed you will be. But once you look back on it a couple of years into college, you'll see how good it was and how well it likely prepared you.

Chaminade is an independent Catholic college-preparatory high school which truly prepares its students to the real world. I had the pleasure to attend the 2000 graduation ceremony of my former love's brother and the added pleasure to attend live performances of past off-Broadway shows: "Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" and "Guys and Dolls." Tuition is very expensive and entry admittance is not very easy. I highly recommend this school for any parents and young men who are entering their high school years. It is a "coming of age" to young men. Chaminade High School's notable alumni are: George Kennedy, 1943, Academy Award-winning actor and Bill O'Reilly, 1967, a political commentator; host of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor.

    The education of my children--and the way they are educated--is one of the most important…read moreinvestments I make as a parent. I am deeply grateful that Taj's experience at Westbury Friends School, where he has been since age three, has exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, WFS has seen Taj's light and encouraged it to shine even brighter. Westbury Friends School is a wonderful Quaker school--a true gem in Westbury. It has nurtured both of my sons: Amir, who began in 2017, and Taj, who joined in 2023. The school has surpassed our hopes in every way we value. WFS provides a loving, supportive, and encouraging environment that fosters a genuine love of learning. It is a place where curiosity is welcomed, where children feel safe to stretch their bodies, ask questions, explore ideas, and grow confidently into themselves. The campus, playground, gym, and learning spaces are exceptional. My children never want to leave--whether they are playing outside, exploring the gym, or engaging in hands-on activities in their classrooms. WFS feels cozy and warm, and the children feel truly at home there. They love their teachers and the Head of School, whose leadership sets a compassionate and joyful tone that radiates throughout the community. What I value most is that learning at WFS extends far beyond ABCs and 123s. My sons are learning how to interact with others, how to be part of a community, and how to embody courage, kindness, and open-mindedness. We have watched both boys thrive not only academically but also as thoughtful, empathetic, and grounded young people. That holistic growth is the greatest gift a school can give a child--and WFS provides it every day.

    Westbury Friends is genuinely a special place for the kids to begin their academic and school…read moreexperience; the sense of community and belonging is unmatched and I am so grateful my child was able to experience this.
