It sounds like a cliche, but attending Shorecrest was life-changing for our daughter. She entered the school at the start of middle school and by the time she graduated the growth she had achieved both as a student and a person was amazing. She developed such a strong foundation academically that she has been taking on the challenges of college in stride

We transferred our son to Shorecrest mid-year and WHAT AN AMAZING SCHOOL! Night and day from the last one. They recognized where he was coming from and that he would need help getting up to speed. The team of teachers has been SO patient and helpful. The students are incredibly nice and academically... he's finally challenged! I really wish we would have chosen Shorecrest from the very beginning of the school year.

I feel incredibly lucky to have attended Shore crest for the past 14 years. It's not every school that you can find success and passion in every aspect of the school: academics, athletics, arts, leadership, community, etc. I have been able to grow my leadership skills, communicate successfully with others, and have thought-provoking in-class discussions that have allowed me to think for myself. I am leaving Shore crest with a greater sense of self and more knowledge than I ever thought I could have as I'm moving onto college in a few weeks.

Sending my daughter to Shorecrest has been one of the best decisions my husband and I have every made. We are so happy with the fantastic teachers and education that she is receiving. It has been worth every penny as she is far more advanced academically than other children in our neighborhood who do not attend Shorecrest.
