Overall we are very happy with our Shorecrest experience. The lower, middle and upper schools have excellent teachers and academics and my children are happy going to school each day. Because of the size of the school, my children have the opportunity to join different clubs and sports teams throughout the year. The class sizes are small, and the teachers really get to know the students and parents.

My two children had an outstanding experience at Shorecrest (c/o 2017, c/o 2021), where they were thoroughly prepared for college by the school's rigorous academic programs and dedicated faculty. Despite their different interests and learning styles, the teachers met their individual needs, ensuring they were both challenged and supported. The school's co-curricular offerings enabled them to explore and pursue their many interests.

I sent my two kids to this school for two years. $70k later, they can’t read but they can express themselves with clay.
