My oldest child and I went to the same small private school and I was pleased, so when we moved to Carmel Schools, I was extremely worried. I could not be happier! I recalled one or two 'stand out' teachers from the previous school but when I attended the orientation at Carmel for both my younger children,

I could not be happier with CHS. Read less

As a parent of 2 students at Carmel High I can honestly say if I had it to do over again I would have never sent them to this school.
