Curriculum is good. What originally sold us on the school was the personal attention the student advisors would offer. My daughter's advisor was young and inexperienced. Little or no follow up or follow through. Multi-cultural atmosphere is not promoted rather the foriegn boarding students appear

As a current junior at Marianapolis, I can honestly say that without Marianapolis my life would be prodigiously different, both right now and further down the road. I receive valuable life lessons both inside the classroom and out, whether or not I like the lessons that they are. The classes are challenging
... Read more enough (and more importanly, seemingly worthwhile) and the workload is perfectly within my capacity while still strenuous enough to engage my interest. There is, however, a cost (beyond the monetary) to this; it is a price some (even myself, sometimes) are not willing to pay. The students at Marianapolis must be active participants in order to do well both inside and out of the classroom. The teachers that will hunt you down and demand late assignments/homework are rare at Marianapolis. There is very little hand-holding at this school. Whether that is a positive or a negative facet is relative. Read less

I currently have two children attending Marianapolis. After my sons first year there, I was confident that it is the best college prep school in New England. The school is designed to emmulate a future college environment. It's multicultural student body is a microcosm of todays college student body.
... Read more While it is true that students with similar cultural backgrounds do tend to socialize together it not exclusively the rule. My son is a day student and his best friend is a boarding student from Mexico who he has kept in touch with this summer. Marianapolis is very successful at teaching their students to embrace the cultural diversity of all it's students. I found the the teachers to be creative, innovative, and extremely responsive to my childs needs. Your child will receive a superior education, a strong sense of self worth, and realize the importance of making the world a better place. Read less

I currently attend Marianapolis and I am to the point that I am ready to walk out and look for another school! The headmistress is only interested in her own personal plans and the teachers here rarely will stay after for 1 on 1 even if you ask them. This does not apply to all teachers, but most of them,

Also if you think this school will make your son/daughter meet and communicate with other nationalities, then you would be wrong, in all of my classes it's American's on one side of the room and the 'dorm' students on the other. Well, thats just my opinion of the school, but it's just about the most truthfully honest opinion you will find. Read less

Marianapolis is everything I expected and more. My child enjoys going to school, has embraced the multicultural experience and has been academically challenged. He came from an elementary school where he performed very well. I wanted a challenge for him. His teachers have gotten to know him and have

He has felt comfortable asking the international students to our home and has enjoyed the new mix of friends. I love the fact that this school is devoted to every part of my child. He has been involved in community service without it being mandated, he plans on being a three sport athlete without a strong athletic background and he has the full support of all of his teachers whenever needed.

Marianapolis is truly a unique school. My child has received nothing but a quality education. Not only do they offer over ten AP level courses, but also a plethora of diverse electives that are unique and interesting. The faculty are committed to the education of our children. I was impressed with

Marianapolis presents a prep-school image that it does not live up to. We have found the quality of instruction to be lacking because so many of the teachers are young, inexperienced and uncertified. One thing that attracted us to Marianapolis was the multinational student body, but the reality is that
... Read more there is a great divide between day and boarding students. The two groups do not interact on any consistent or meaningful level, even gravitating to opposite sides of the classroom. The teachers are very nice people and most students are well-behaved, but I just don't think the kids are being challenged enough in the classroom. The administration does not want to hear criticisms like this; it seems the main concern is preserving the image of the school. But for $10,000 a year, I need more than image for my son, and we are looking elsewhere for next year. Read less

Having two girls graduate from Marianapolis and go on to quality colleges they both would tell any parent that the education and life learning experinces at Marianapolis were the main reasons for there present sucess.
