Info
My kids go to the middle school in 09/10. The Middle school teachers seem very mediocre and unimpressive. They are supposed to use the moodle which is a hi tech academic curriculum and syllabus system designed to help the self motivated. But not one teacher has this working correctly, on-time or with ...  Read more

Designed for the gifted set, this top notch facility provides every challenge a growing mind could want. The stress level is overrated, most often by those who could not rise to the challenge. The educators are driven, yet supportive abd understanding. The 'Escalade' parent set takes some getting used ...  Read more

I'm not a parent at HM, I'm a student. I attend Middle School there and entered in kindergarten. So I want to point out some things that parents 'may have overlooked' (but when you're paying approx. $39,000, what could go wrong?) Some of the teachers at HM are spectacular (I can think of two) but most ...  Read more

I graduated at the very top of the class, played multiple varsity sports etc., and went on to one of the best universities on the planet. I was shocked to learn how woefully underprepared I was for college by HM. HM will give you lots of homework and fancy facilities but will not teach you to think or ...  Read more

Simply the best of the best. If your child is lucky enough to get accepted, it truly offers the best education money can buy.

Horace Mann's academics are rigorous. Hard working students thrive there. Students with a desire to succeed have the power to do so at Horace Mann because of the extremely attentive and talented faculty. The school also has fantastic extracurricular opportunities.

My daughter has attended Horace Mann School since she was in kindergarten. She is now in 7th grade. This school is excellent. She continues to excel and loves going to school every day. Horace Mann provides numerous extracurricular activities that supplement its program of study.

The best of the best. Pressure, yes. Pressure cooker, no. This is a school packed to the brim with self-motivated kids who take advantage of the opportunities available to them at an instution of such academic caliber. Teachers are inspiring and enthusiastic. Sure, there are duds, but overall, they are ...  Read more

Myth #1 'It's a pressure cooker.' Intense, yes. Rigorous academics, yes. So many extracurriculars it's hard to choose (many kids don't.) The *kids* are intense, the pool of talent immense. Most kids are talented academically *and* in other areas. Most genuinely want to develop to the fullest. Courses ...  Read more

Great school, if you are going to pick a private school in riverdale this is the one and only one. Don't even think of the other 2, if you can get into this school you can get into any private school in the metro area. My daughter loves it. Teachers are the greatest and care about the students. ...  Read more
