Teachers are great here, very helpful. It might take time to get used to the dorm life, even food. Knox offers clubs and sports options.

After many years of issues with our district , we needed a place for our daughter and thankfully we found The Knox School which is not only nearby but the perfect place . From our first visit we knew this was the school for us - our daughter has become a new person in only 2 months - we cant wait to see what the next 2 1/2 years will bring . Caring teachers, knowledgable and warm administration and a beautiful campus environment make The Knox School an amazing educational institution.

The Knox School has provided me with an education unparalleled to any other school. The teachers are caring, creative and supportive. The diversity within the school is exemplary. I have made friends from all over the world. The administration makes your college goals their goals and prepare students with all the tools to assist with college admissions preparation.

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.
8/26/2021
Starting with the head of School, both the recently resigned and the current have faculty stretched so thin often having them work several positions or taking on too many classes, some outside their field of expertise, which as you can imagine is not a good for the student. I know first hand that th...
