Testimonials
"I did want to tell you what a pleasure it was to work with your students and your faculty. I have never been more impressed with students than I was with the class that I taught at your school. It is obvious that they are learning not only general "high school" information but also (and most importantly) how to use what they learn to explore new ideas. The students genuinely wanted to learn and the faculty with which I interacted seemed very passionate about fostering the students' intellects." – Joseph Catoggio, Princeton Review
"Academe inspired me to discover new talents and interests I never thought I had." – Senior
"The class discussions helped bring me out of my shell. In public school, I never spoke in front of the class and was rarely interested in what the teachers had to say. Here I was able to let go of some of my insecurities and speak openly." – Junior
"Academe has helped me develop the way I think. I find myself considering all possibilities instead of just one." – Sophomore
"Our son has been inspired in both the academic arena and the arts, and he has uncovered talents that he was unaware he possessed." – Parent
"[The teachers] take you beyond anything you would be taught in any textbook. They actually take you and place you step-by-step into the full experience of a subject so that it becomes more real and stays with you." – Senior
"The faculty and the learning environment they create have, without question, facilitated a turning point for my son. He has grown and developed interests that simply would not have occurred in another school environment." – Parent
"I like the way the classes are set up. The Main Lesson block lets us get immersed in our subjects. Sometimes, I’m so involved that I don't feel like I’m studying." – Freshman
"At this school, our input comes even before that of the greatest thinkers." – Senior
"One of the most important things about this school is that I learned not only from my teachers, but also from my peers. This is a school, a community, and a family." – Senior
"This school provides an atmosphere for open discussion. You feel your opinions are valuable, so you in turn learn to value the views and ideas of everyone else. Your mind develops and you learn so much more because of this openness." – Senior
"In every class, there are discussions so everyone can say what they feel, and you come together as a class to figure out a problem." – Senior
"Here you matter. The faculty actually cares about you inside and outside the classroom. They are my extended family, my role models, and teachers. The faculty really is everything at this school." – Senior
"These wonderful teachers care about our kids. The welcome and warmth so apparent at Academe stands out because it is notably absent from too many high school environments. We all respond best when we feel valued and appreciated." – Parent
"At the end of the day, I have more of an understanding of the world, and I have a feeling that I have just discovered a whole new meaning in life." – Sophomore
"This school has shown me a way to live in the world, and how to truly consider the needs of other people." – Senior
