The Knox School have a really beautiful campus with a diverse student body. The teachers here really care about us and are all really nice, talented, and responsible. Living here is very convenient as a boarding student and you can play many sports and join many extracurriculer activities.

The Knox School was where I discovered many of my hidden talents that I didn't even know I had. The experience Knox has brought me for the past three years was priceless, it has taught me many life lessons and without a doubt prepared me for college.

I know first hand that th...
