4.0 Alum

I graduated from Laurel just a couple of years ago. I had been there for eight years, and as an alumna I look back fondly on my experiences within those dear walls. Laurel gave me a space to be my most authentic self, taught me how to critically think, be resilient, and most importantly, how to engage in civic discourse.

It's sad to see this great institution suffer under the current administration. Social and political considerations have now firmly overtaken the core mission of an academic education. The churn is students is simply disturbing. The headmistress has dismissed the overwhelming concerns of past graduates and the broader community. Alienating those who care about the school and it's long history is a mistake - cutting off one's nose to spite one's face. The time is long past for a change at the top - Laurel deserved better.

I am a current senior at Laurel and can't recommend the school enough to any student who is a passionate and ambitious learner and values a strong sense of community. The teachers are top quality and go above and beyond to support each student, and the social environment has made me much more confident in myself throughout the my six years here. I feel that Laurel has prepared me extremely well for my entrance to college life next year.

Laurel had the right combination and level of academics, sports programs and overall culture that was a good fit for our family. We have been there two years and have had an excellent experience. We would...

Laurel School has been instrumental in my daughter’s life. She is more confident, thoughtful and inquisitive as a result of the incredible staff. She is on track for an Ivy League university, which she would not be had we remained in public school. The teachers challenge her. The resources and small...

Just so most of you know, there is absolutely NO drama at Laurel School. If there is any drama, it will be very minimal. At HB I think there might be more drama because of cliques and things like that. Also, Laurel is a more homey environment and they definitely DO NOT "baby" you. They just want to...
