Our family loves Laurel for our daughter. She began in the Early Childhood program and has truly thrived at the school. Laurel supports every girl both academically and emotionally, helping them grow with confidence. We can't wait for our daughter to continue her journey as she begins Middle School next year.

My daughters have been at Laurel school for over 13 years. They are truly known by the faculty. The high school curriculum is incredibly challenging. The classes are small enough to meet each girl at her level and provide her with the appropriate challenge.

Even though I came to Laurel my junior year, I've loved it since the day I got here. I love the sense of community and how close everyone is. I also love that you can make a close relationship with your teachers due to the class sizings. I've made many friends since I've gotten here, making it feel like I've been here for over a year.

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...
