Roycemore has exceeded our expectations on all fronts. We especially appreciate the school's holistic approach to student development geared toward helping students become respectful contributors to the advancement of society. The culture and community of Roycemore is best in class. We highly recommend Roycemore to any family seeking a grounded, yet innovative student development experience for their child.

I've had a very pleasant experience here at Roycemore and I feel like I have learned more here than I could've at any other high school in the Evanston area. I would like to see more college preparation resources for the students as it is marketed as a college prep school, but other than that I am very happy with the school.

I came to Roycemore wondering if it could live up to the hype - it absolutely does. The faculty, families, and students have welcomed me with open arms and created a work environment where I want to be. Each student at Roycemore is celebrated as a unique learner and encouraged to pursue excellence, whatever that means to them. I learn so much from them and I'm grateful for the school community.

Roycemore's small size and individual attention has bolstered my student's confidence and given them the skills to...

I am a proud Roycemore alumna. I am also involved in several aspects of the current school community and have extensive professional experience with independent schools. The recent 1 star review dated Mar 24, 2023 does not reflect my experience as a student at Roycemore nor the current climate at Ro...
