as an 8th grader here at Saxe. overall it wasn't bad but it wasn't great. some peers normally bully me. but most were kind in general. food was awesome! but, teachers...didn't really helped with the bullying type incidents and they normal say that I need to ignore them. honestly I prefer a boarding school

It was a great experience and I'm glad I was allowed to experience the fun before I leave. These last five days are going to be the best!

strong academics, teachers, administration and student body. starts in 5th grade, so they are focused on a smooth transition from elementary school to middle school, which is good.

I love how they teach the children n a fun and safe environment. They also always make sure the kids can have something healthy to eat.

Although it's a large school, they do a good job of ensuring there is attention to all students. The orchestra program is very strong, as are Latin and math. My only quibble is that the guidance counselors could be quicker to respond and clarify school policies.
