We've been thrilled with our time at Speyer. Our kid came having been very disappointed by the experience at Lower Lab, and has really had their love for school and learning reignited at Speyer. The faculty is extraordinary, and the peer group is kind, supportive, and one that elevates being smart and intellectual as "cool". We're now looking at high schools, and sad to be preparing to leave Speyer, but so grateful that our kiddo had the chance to learn and grow at this remarkable school.

Our experience at Speyer really has been incredible. Our child is in lower school and is engaged and challenged. The teachers are warm and kind, and they really seem to understand each student as a unique learner. The community is welcoming with down-to-earth parents. We appreciate the school's commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. We couldn't ask for a better school experience for the entire family.

I'm currently a student at Speyer, and it's a real privilege to be able to go to such an amazing school. The classes are engaging (This is a school for accelerated students), the teachers are passionate and supportive, and the community is very closely knit.
