    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.

    My former love (Nick K.) along with his younger brother attended high school here. Education is at…read morehigh standards, which embraces young men to become professionals. 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.

    Westbury Friends is an amazing school. My daughter attends the Spanish Immersion Nursery program…read moreand she has thrived over the past few months! The teachers are patient, nurturing, and incredibly skilled at making language acquisition feel natural and fun. They weave Spanish seamlessly into play, storytelling, art, music, cooking, and every part of the day, allowing the children to absorb it naturally and effortlessly. Everyday, my daughter has come home with new words and new songs. The time that my daughter has spent at Westbury Friends has been phenomenal. I wouldn't change a thing. I've always been hesitant in her school placement because I need to know she is ok when I'm not around. The communication from all of her teachers and the Head of School is amazing and has put my mind at ease. I receive pictures, videos and updates daily. When I have questions or concerns they're always addressed immediately. I couldn't be more appreciative of the love and care my daughter has received from all of the staff at Westbury Friends.

Her classroom always has the same 2 teachers every day for the full day, which has been so wonderful in allowing our daughter to acclimate to the school. We are so happy here and highly recommend this school!
