I am a student athlete (ballet dancer) who spends around 20 hours a week in the studio. Dwight Global has given me the flexibility to continue this high level of ballet while continuing with advanced academics. In my opinion, I’m learning more, academically, at DG than I had been in public school. The classes are engaging, the teachers truly care about the students, and the school will bend over backwards to accommodate the students as much as possible. Since I live in NYC, I’ve been able to attend both in person events that DG has held. They were well organized and a great chance to see my friends! Overall, DG is an amazing school that is perfect for students who have extracurricular commitments and want high level rigorous academic education. ...

My son is in 6th grade, and it has been the perfect fit. The academics are challenging yet balanced, encouraging growth without overwhelming him. The school values independence, which suits him well, and he is engaged and excited to learn. What stands out most is the range of opportunities. He participates in Model UN, cross country, sailing, and baseball. Academically, he has taken pre algebra, robotics, and 3D art, which are not typically offered at this level. The teachers are approachable and highly qualified, with an average of about 14 students per class. Most hold master’s degrees, and his science teacher has a doctorate, which adds depth to the program. The community is strong, with meaningful parent involvement. He enjoys the food, appreciates the variety, and is fitting in well socially.

Many international students feel a bit nervous about living with a new family, but there is truly no need to be afraid. The families in this program are incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely eager to make you feel at home. From my own journey, I found a supportive environment where my host parents treated me like their own.

The course content is engaging, and the teachers are passionate about their respective subjects. Middle school students are offered a variety of extracurriculars. They can do clubs during lunch, play sports, and take part in academic competitions. These activities allow students to bond with kids in other grades and find things they are passionate about! Berkeley also has an incredible music and arts program. As a choral singer, I was in the All State Treble chorus, an auditioned choir for the best choral singers in Florida. It was an unforgettable experience, and my choir teacher helped me through every step of the audition process. Berkeley also offers a variety of trips for students. I went to the Bahamas for community service where I helped build a school library and read to Bahamian children.

Classes were harder, people were unfamiliar, and days were longer. And before I could completely adjust, the COVID-19 pandemic broke out. Despite not being traditionally an online school, Posnack quickly adjusted and I managed to have the same level if not a greater level of education and engagement as I did in person. This only an example of how Posnack pursues and succeeds its ambitious venture. It achieves this while still being able to have a consistent level of engagement with its students, performance in extracurriculars, and friendliness in its community.

One of the best parts of the school is the variety of programs available to students. The arts programs, especially theater, give students many chances to perform and grow creatively. There are also many clubs and activities that allow students to explore their interests and build friendships. Many teachers are supportive and genuinely care about helping students succeed. However, there are also some challenges. At times communication from administration can feel unclear, and some students feel that certain programs receive more support than others. The environment can also feel competitive, which makes it harder for students to feel comfortable or supported.

From the very start, everyone has been warm and welcoming. Our daughter is genuinely happy, and because it’s an independent school, they have the freedom to do what’s best for each student. She has embraced so many opportunities — even trying theater for the first time and landing a role in the school play, which she absolutely loved! She’s also involved in sports and other afterschool activities. The teachers are wonderful and truly get to know their students. The campus is beautiful, with the lakes as a backdrop where students can relax and enjoy time outside. The new science building is state-of-the-art, almost like a college campus, and fits seamlessly into the setting. Trinity Prep has been an ideal fit for our whole family, and we feel so lucky to be part of this community. ...

From the moment we joined, we felt a genuine sense of belonging within its supportive community. The IB curriculum is a standout feature, transforming our kids into critical thinkers and global citizens. Instead of rote memorization, they engage in inquiry-based learning that keeps them curious and motivated. With small class sizes, the teachers provide a level of personalized attention that is hard to find elsewhere. They truly understand each student's unique strengths and learning styles. We also value the school's incredible diversity. Our children interact daily with peers from around the world, fostering empathy and a global mindset. The "family feel" and approachable administration make the campus feel like a second home. Our kids are now more confident, inspired, and excited for school every day. We couldn't be happier with our overall experience at Boca Prep! ...

My colleagues are top notch and everyone will go the extra mile to help one another. All staff are there to help the children, in whatever capacity is needed. My two children graduated from Canterbury and my husband also works there, so it is definitely a family friendly place to be! The opportunities are plentiful for the students. There is something for everyone, such as clubs, music, art, theatre, sports, etc. The parents of the students are also wonderful. They want to be involved and are responsive to questions, concerns, and collaboration in their child's education journey. There is no "worst" part of my experience; otherwise, I would not work there. However, in terms of possible changes, it would be great to see more diversity in students and teachers/administration. The school doesn't "recruit" students, per se, so I am guessing that word of mouth and marketing might help attract a more diverse population. ...

This made the early stages of the school year very rough for me. At first, I didn't like it here, I wanted to go home mainly because everything was different including people, uniforms, mannerisms and also being away from my parents. However, as time went on, I slowly started growing attached to this school without even knowing it. I now have grown to love this school and everyone in it especially my roomate. The staff and administration were very kind and patient with me when I was struggling adjusting to this new school and boarding. This experience taught me that although change might seem bad in the moment, it can actually be the complete opposite and that we need to experience to grow. Ever since coming here, I've enrolled in many more activities than I ever have done previously including sports. I believe I became more well-rounded being here and I'm happy to say I'm a Laker! ...
