The Ursuline School
New Rochelle, NY
#59 Best Private High Schools in New York
Alum: Without the Ursuline School, I would not be who I am today! TUS has prepared me for the world by molding me to become a strong independent woman who is not afraid to take risks and to make a voice for myself. Ursuline is an amazing school and I hope to send my daughters here one day because of how much I loved my experience. I came into Ursuline in the sixth grade and never once have I doubted my decision to go to TUS. The faculty and administration are amazing and I wouldn't trade in my seven years at TUS for anything!
Iona Preparatory School
Alum: I as a recent graduate of this fine institution, I can gladly say that I am conquering everything life has to throw at me! I was shown how a true Iona man was and is supposed to act and now I play a very important role in my community which is helping other in need. Which is the true message of this school! I know it may be a bit pricey, but it's worth every penny my parents spent!
Thornton-Donovan School
Senior: Thornton-Donovan is a smaller international private school that is open to students grade K-12. The student body is under 200 and very tight-knit. There's a strong sense of community around campus that isn't present at larger schools. A decent portion of the student body are transfers from countries such as Albania, China and Kenya. From an academic standpoint, T-D is unique because the curriculum thematic, with courses being offered that teach students about the history and heritage of a particular country for that school year.
The Wardlaw + Hartridge School
Parent: My kids are studying at Wardlaw for the last 10 years. The teachers, the school community and culture is what makes us come back to this school every year. The school is constantly trying to improve itself and values parental involvement greatly. The school environment is very encouraging and instills in children, a love for learning, arts and sports. The school is less competitive when compared to other comparable private schools which could be a positive or negative thing based on your priorities.
Salesian High School
#219 Best Private High Schools in New York
Senior: Salesian HS is an amazing place to build friendships, and really form special relationships with your teachers. The staff really do care about the well-being of every student, and the way students interact with the faculty is unique from student to student. We're a school deeply rooted in our faith, and it's an aspect of the school that I would consider to be my favorite. In terms of what I wish would change, I wish the school would improve the rigor of its academic curriculum with higher standards set by teachers.
