Outstanding. I couldn't ask for more in a small school. The Principal, Chris Smith, is the most dedicated educator I've come across. He is accessible, compassionate, incredibly hard working. The academics challenge thinking and are never rote. The community seems open-minded.

We have had 3 children through this school. They went on to prep schools throughout New England and succeeded with the work ethic and morals learned at the school. The youngest is in her second year of high school and is on honor roll. While all schools have their shortcomings, taking in total, we highly recommend the institution.
