We've had a strong experience with the school - even through COVID. All kids play at least one sport and have at least one on stage experience. Teachers, with very few exceptions, are exceptionally dedicated to the kids. Families are there because they want the best for their kids... so it's a cohesive, supportive community. Not all of the kids are as kind as they could be.

North Shore takes pride in teachers truly knowing their students and this is exactly the experience that our family has had there. The kids are met wherever they might be and whatever their interests might be. The school creates an environment where the students can excel in all areas and become a well rounded individual.

Badly summarizes it pretty accurately. Now don't get me wrong, you could do a lot worse with school. After all, NSCDS still gets good academic performance. But those other schools don't cost 30k or whatever. In summary, if all you care about is getting your kid in the best college possible, regardle...

100% the best option of schooling I could have ever had. My life at North Shore feels valued and cared for. Each administrator, peer, and teacher knows my name and has my best interest in mind. There is truly no better place for individual learning that develops your entire character.
