Kiski excels in helping boys become the best version of themselves. Whether strong academically, or athletically, the school champions a well-rounded approach to school and life.

The two years I spent at Kiski were some of the best in my life. I recently graduated and still keep in touch with friends I made there from all over the world. The school also gives you all the tools you need to succeed (whether you take advantage of that is up to you). Highly recommend this school.

its very expensive. you lose friends of your neighborhood and local community. when you graduate from here you lose connection. teachers are not very good. if you want your kid to get a quality education send them to a good public school. kiski is mostly for international students to get their footing into u.s universities. for college graduates compare to sewickley and shadyside..
