overall a great school but there are a few flaws that are yet to even be touched, with it being such a small school.
12/11/2020
As a student (junior), I believe the Nora School is one of the best schools in Maryland that can provide a different way of thinking. The classes are small in size, yet learning is hands-on. The teachers at Nora truly believe in the art of teaching and are willing to bend over backward to help their students.

Due to its small size, The Nora School provides a different level of intimacy with one's teachers. This has really helped me, as there is more time for everyone to be able to understand the lesson with discussions and explanations.

The classes are small- so very teacher knows each student well, and are open to supporting the student when he...

Head of school makes everyone in the school every morning sit in the hallway for 8 min doing mindfulness and being dead silent. What the school doesn't understand is that this causes stress for kids with ad...
