I think Archmere Academy is very similar to how college will be like, so we are well prepared. Archmere could work on more events for students to make the experience more fun for all.

Very good a school with very strong academics. Lots of clubs, sports and activities for all students. Teachers are very caring and enthusiastic about their work. One criticism is that a lot of the students are very privileged and unaware of the world around them. Other than that, really great place to be.

My son graduated from Archmere and received an excellent academic education. Spiritual speaking, not so much. I have heard the principle is not pro life. This doesn’t surprise me as the catholic religion is watered down. It has a bit of a country club atmosphere to it with generations of families at...
