Most of the teachers at this school are great; most of them genuinely care about the students. Overall though, this school is not good. The academics are below average and the school sees the kids as dollar signs. The school is overpriced for its average academics and is lacking in clubs and sporting opportunities. There are much better schools for not as much money. Send your child to those instead.

Pilgrim is one of those places where everyone knows everyone; and in this place, it's a bad thing. The overall school finds more importance in money, donations, and fundraising than the actual students. It's not worth the overpriced tuition. Save your money and sanity and go elsewhere.
10/20/2017
It's a nice school but has very limited academics. There are not as many opportunities here than other schools. It is a small school, and while that has its advantages, it also has its disadvantages. You know everything about everyone, and it is uncomfortable.

I’ve had the privilege of being connected to Pilgrim School as both a former teacher and now a Board member. What continues to impress me is the dedication of the faculty and staff to truly knowing each student. The smaller class sizes allow teachers to give individualized attention, which helps stu...

I'm writing as a former teacher and current board member of Pilgrim School. Pilgrim offers an exceptional and distinctive educational experience from Pre-school through 12th grade within a diverse community where inclusivity and belonging are core values.One of Pilgrim’s greatest strengths is its co...
