I cannot say enough about a value and reward of our family's Cannon experience. Our kids are challenged, nurtured, and known by the faculty and community. We have a graduate and an upper school student, but we have had children at Cannon for 12 years and I would make the same decision to choose Cannon every time.

I attended Cannon from 3rd grade to 12th grade. I had a great experience with the teachers. They were very supportive, but the social scene was not great. there is not much diversity in terms of ethnicity or income.

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...
