Kiski made me into the man I am today. It was exactly the experience my 13-18 year old self needed and served me well on my journey to college and beyond. While I am sure there are prep schools with fancier building, bigger names, more Ivy Leaguers, or whatever other metrics people use, Kiski was perfect for me and many others. I am encouraged by what is to come for the future and will continue providing my support. Importantly, I am proud to hold onto many of my Kiski brothers now and for years to come.

When I was in my high school years, Kiski gave me complete access to a rich diversity of faculty talent, administrative support, educational flexibility, college readiness preparation, opportunities out of class for action and enrichment, and encouragement to become everything I could be. College honors graduate, Phi Beta Kappa member, M.A. and Ph.D. recipient, college professor and administrator as well as a college president --- Kiski put me on the path that I took to a life I feel endlessly privileged to have led.

My overall experience with The Kiski School has been great, ever since the beginning with the admissions process everyone has been so kind. The acaemics are rigorous and the sports are some of the best in the country with me being apart of the soccer team and becoming state champs and also being ranked number 23 in the nation.

After his first reporting period and grades were read aloud in the dorm, he was in the bottom half of the class. From that point forward, he set a goal to be in the upper half...
