We have had an outstanding experience with our children at The Cambridge School . The partnership between parents and teachers is evident and has been incredibly valuable in our experience. We highly recommend Cambridge.

The best part of Cambridge is absolutely the teachers who work there. They all care very deeply for their students, and due to the size of classes and amount of teachers, are able to get to know their students very well. I still periodically meet up and hang out with several of the teachers whom I had at various years at Cambridge. I think on a similar note the community I found both within my class and with students in years above and below me was of excellent quality, and definitely made learning more exciting. The worst parts of my experience probably stem from the fact that as a small school, there wasn't a huge variety of classes that I could take. While I have no complaints with the curriculum and liberal arts approach Cambridge provides (indeed I rather liked it), it might have been nice to have some classes to support my hobbies at the time like computer science. I don't think the lack of compsci classes at Cambridge hindered my pursuit of it, but that could just be me.

The teachers are what made Cambridge an experience worth remembering. At certain points, you'd grow tired of being around the same kids but the teachers always knew how to make things exciting and engaging as well as helping each student to thrive.

6/5 stars. The Cambridge School was the best school you didn't know about, and now it's the best school you do know about. Schedule a tour so you can see exactly what I mean!

Amazing! There is no where our son would have thrived more. He has had the opportunity to take classes that are unusual for most middle and high school students, and has enjoyed the teachers who taught them. The curriculum and the culture of the school have shaped him in marked ways. We know he is w...
