Not helpful in the least for kids who learn outside the box. Really disappointing. Not supportive and extremely judgmental. We are much happier at other schools than this one. Also not great about communicating to parents. Made our one child extremely anxious and that was difficult to see.

Great school with caring top notch instructors. I have a child in middle school and high school. I love that they started a dean program so my son in high school gets the best guidance regarding preparing him for college.

Sewickley Academy has, like many other private schools, its fair share of ups and downs. Its best pro is that it's a tight knit community with lots of 1 on 1 opportunities however its administration and policies are lacking so to speak.
