I enjoyed every minute at McCallie and the opportunities it gave me to improve myself. I enjoyed living with my friends and having sense of brotherhood among my peers. The teachers and faculty were very personal and the food from the dining hall was always good. I wouldn't have chose anywhere else to go to high school and will send my son here if I have one and he wants to go

I had a great time at McCallie. I was there for 6 years and I wouldn't change it for the world. It's a boarding school but I am a day student. The amount of new people you will meet is crazy. My McCallie experience is like none other.

Excellent education for both of our sons. One is in college now, the other is still enrolled. McCallie has excellent teachers and people who really understand young men. The college prep is outstanding and McCallie, we believe, is a 'hidden gem' in the boarding school world. All of our children have attended boarding school and we believe that McCallie 'walks the walk'.

Instead, he had to take all his McCallie classes online from our home. Despite our son not being on campus for the whole year, the Mc...

I am an engineer at a large national science/engineering agency. I am reviewing applicants to our summer intern program.

Overall my experience at McCallie was one that I will always look back at with a warm heart. The school played a huge part in helping me achieve my academic and athletic goals while also providing me with a rich and healthy social environment.
