I am a a student here at Knox, in my junior year. I first transferred here in the middle of my sophomore year. Truthfully, when my mother first told we were going to check out The Knox School, I was not at all happy about it. Mainly because I didn't like the idea of going to a Private School, instead of a Public School. I agreed to go to one of their open houses to make her happy. When I left,I had a whole different opinion; I realized my public school wasn't going to fully prepare me for high school. More importantly they made me feel at home. When we left the open house, I told my mother that I changed my mind, and that I would like to go to Knox. That's why I really think attending Knox was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

When my daughter was in 6th grade she transferred to Knox from public school. Best decision I ever made. Small class size and teachers who care have brought out the academic excellence in my child. Beautiful campus. We are lucky to be part of the Knox family.

I know first hand that th...
