4 years and we are going strong!!! We love our school and everything about it. Cannon uses every inch of their 65 acre campus to inspire the children and help them grow. A typical day can include children writing poetry outside in the garden. This place is simply phenomenal.

I used to go to a public school and I transferred to Cannon School my sophomore year. I am thoroughly impressed by the school. It has a great student life program as well as club opportunities. Not only that, the teachers are some of the most flexible people I have met.

This school's academic offerings are good, and some of the teachers here—especially the sciences—are really great. The school does a great job of making you feel welcome and the kids here are very tight-knit.

As a parent of four Cannon graduates and the grandparent of 2 current Cannon students, I have a broad perspective on what makes this community special. Relationships, core values, and a faculty that cares deeply about teaching and learning.

Its all about the image at Cannon School. They also have a history of calling in students in class with no warning nor any time to call their parents and ambushing them with multiple teachers for questioning when they have been accused of something or when that student does something that may make t...
