My son has been studying at Marquette Academy for last two years, I have to praise teachers, priests and counselors at Marquette for their warm and professional educational experience and skills. My son loves music production, in the meantime, under the guidance of the school, keep his academic study in a very good status. during last two years, my son made a lot of beautiful modern music pieces, hopefully, eventually he gets into his dream college in the United States.

I had two children graduate from Marquette. They both were able to take advantage of taking dual credit classes and both had almost 2 years of college done before they graduated form Marquette. This year we hosted two boys from China that went to Marquette. We loved the experience. The Junior was able to take the dual credit classes like my boys did. Getting that jump on your college education while you are in High School is not just a money savings but also time saving because hey can get their degree in college much faster by doing this.

The teachers, for the most part, put much effort into the education of the students and are almost always willing to provide the...
