This School’s Reviews

1.0 Alum

5/20/2024

I wish I had nicer things to say, but my parents should have pulled me from CRS earlier. I think they thought that a smaller school would help me grow, but honestly, I was bullied ALL THE TIME and the teachers that said what was happening is not okay had left and everyone else chalked it up to covid. I would never want to go to middle school at CRS. It is full of kids with limited behavioral control and the school only encourages them. I am grateful that my next school taught me that what happens at CRS is super not normal but angry that I am so behind academically and in high school when it counts. I wish my parents had put me in a 7-12 program where I had room to grow and my peers were more serious. I hate CRS.

Charles River School is a small school where teachers and staffs know all students. Every student are recognized individually and educated to bring the maximum potential. It is also a great community for parents involvement in their children's education.

We love Charles River School! Our 3 children have thrived with the hands on learning and theme based curriculum. The faculty and staff have done an outstanding job ensuring the safety of all the children on campus under the current health concerns of Covid19. We could not be more proud to be a CRS family!

My son attends Charles River School and could not be happier. He absolutely loves going to school each day and wishes the school did not end after 8th grade. CRS makes learning fun. Academic rigor is balanced with strong social emotional support. The school encourages kids to be curious, self-aware,...

I am both an alum as well as a parent of 3 kids who have attended Charles River School (1 still in attendance). It is a school I credit with so much of my own development as a productive member of society - personally and professionally. I still count some of the friends I made during my 10 years at...

My children had a wonderful, well rounded experience at CRS. They all had wonderful options for secondary school - and have been doing well in their studies post CRS. They felt well prepared for the setting and curriculum that followed their studies. They continue to speak fondly about their time at...

Since joining Charles River School almost 7 years ago, I remain impressed and thrilled that my child has the privilege and opportunity to attend a school that fosters the importance of "igniting curiosity, encouraging creativity, and cultivating intellectual engagement. " At CRS children are allowed...
