My two daughters attend Sage Hill (21&24). They love it. Teachers and administrators are genuinely attentive to students' development. My older daughter always go to see her HS teachers when she's back from college.

Good community overall, yet the tuition is extremely expensive for a school that has subpar teachers and where students are inadequately prepared for exams or tests. Food is overpriced for its value and does not cater to students' needs. The environment is extremely competitive and continues to become so year by year.

Such a great school. The teachers are amazing, the facilities are world class, and my kids love it. The classes are small so kids get to do real discussions, labs, and projects...no more just having to listen to lectures. We have found the coaches and teams are also great. Such a great school!

We chose, as we understand a number of others did, to leave the school after our first year.
