I think the best part about Boylan was the sense of community among the students. Everyone knew everyone and this led to tight-knit relationships among peers. The worst part for me was unwillingness to make accommodations or exceptions for those struggling. For instance, I really struggled after I had a surgery with making everything up and staying on top of the work I was given.

Excellent School. Faculty goes above and Beyond for the students. They help them in many areas of life including, but not limited to spiritual, academic, athletic, and to overall be the best person they can be.

I have been a Boylan parent since 1994. Tuition has gone up every year, making the choice to send my children to Boylan definitely a sacrifice. A text book buy back program as opposed to "renting " books, as well as the option to buy used uniforms ( many schools do a used uniform sale at the end of...
