Boy, where do I start. We are so happy at AC. This is my son's 1st year there and his thriving. He complete his 1st play and he was amazing. I can wait for what awaits us in AC upper school the next four. Thank you AC for being a safe space for my child. And providing limitless opportunities.

Allendale will provide you with a well-rounded global experience. It lacked in diversity and support of low-income students and BIPOC students. It has amazing opportunities in foreign languages, the arts, and some sports.

Allendale is without question the premier private school in Rochester. As an alumnus, and a parent of an alumnus, I have over 50 years under my belt as a part of AC's rich tradition. If you want the very best academics, Allendale Columbia is it. I continue to be amazed at the young men and women who graduate from AC. Every facet of life under the birches is an experience in enrichment.

AC offers an education unlike any other in Rochester. An elite private school, AC's academics are stellar in conception and focus. As an alum, my AC experience led to opportunity on a level unattainable via any local public district.

Our son's experience was well rounded and intense at the same time. We strongly recommend this school to those who value education within and outside the classroom.
