School Reviews:

  • Recommended May 21,2012 - I couldn''t agree more with the previous review. Saddle River Day School has changed SO much since the new Head of School Eileen Lambert is there. She is a strong and vibrant leader who is adding to both the physical plant as well as the academic program. The High School athletic program has even gotten much more competitive with Danny Brown the new Athletic Director now. The students coming in are students that would do well anywhere. If you haven''t looked at their recent college acceptances, go on the website and check it out... great school that gives kids a chance to explore many other extra-curricular interests in addition to outstanding academics. My daughter is there in the High School and loves school every day.*-Posted by Parent *
  • Recommended January 19,2012 - Saddle River Day has definitely changed over the last few years! The new Head of School is fantastic and the school is becoming much more competitive academically. They are also growing in enrollment and the kids coming in are really strong students and well-rounded kids. I have a son there in the Middle School and he loves his teachers and his school. It is such a joy as a parent to wake up every morning and have him happy to go to school in a great enrivonment where teachers truly care about him as a person and where he is receiving an incredible education. We are so pleased and definitely made the right choice to send him there. I highly recommend the school to anyone looking for a smaller, very challenging yet balanced academic program. It is well worth the price.*-Posted by Parent *

Make Summer a Special Time! Make Summer a Special Time!
If you have children in private school, then you are most likely looking at three months, perhaps even longer, which you must fill with activities of one kind or another during the long summer break.
