I have been at Trevor since 4th grade and could not be happier. Trevor's environment and social welcoming is unlike many other Manhattan private schools. The teachers are extremely approachable, technology and arts are very strong, and the student body is without doubt one of the nicest and most nurturing

My child attened the lower school. What a horrible school it was. The head of the lower school is clueless about responding to the needs of the students, teachers and parents. I am so glad our child transferred to another school where the child's learning comes first and the family is respected.

Our child, entering high school this year, has been at Trevor since starting school twelve years ago. Trevor is probably much like, and in many ways, superior, to most other independent schools. Trevor promotes a collegial atmosphere between students and teachers, and prepares students well to handle
... Read more the challenges of balancing the independence and academic workload they will find in college. I think that Trevor has no more 'days off' than other independent schools. As for falling behind academically, the curriculum becomes increasingly sophisticated and challenging at each grade level. Eighth grade assignments included reading the Science Times every week and reporting on one of the articles; an exemplary History course included weekly rigorous reading and writing assignments. Our child's recent SSAT scores were 800 in verbal and in the mid-700s in math & reading. Read less

Trevor is a really great school. I am a new student, i just started in September and i already love it.

Trevor students are self-disciplined, intelligent, witty, and socially conscious (Trevor is the only school in the AidsWalk'07 top 20, beating scholastic, CBS, and Kraft.) TDS is very fast paced and self motivated, and students who understand this responsibility do best both academically and socially.

Read more Students drive the school and they know it: Students demand (and got) a Town Hall meeting from the new administration in 07 because they felt communication troubles were compromising the community. Academically, TDS really has it together. Language, English, History, Science and renowned, math weak in comparison but getting much better. Extracurriculars are copious, and taken seriously. Arts program, A+. The most important thing I learned at Trevor was that learning happens everywhere. Trevor s structure naturally facilitates learning (free periods, accessible and interested teachers, expansive curriculum, the center.) Trevor will challenge you academically. A great place for learning, it is also an inclusive community full of as much intelligence as kindness. Read less

TDS is a great school. The teachers are wonderful educators who really care about the wellbeing of each child and his/her individual learning styles. However, the new head is bringing a more traditional/old boarding school approach to the school culture which might change the school for the worse.

I have to dissent from the positive reviews I've read. Since the ouster of the former headmaster, the school has been rudderless as the new headmaster endeavors to get her arms around the quality of teacher and culture issues. There has been little management on the part of the administration and teacher

There are some excellent teachers and some, who should be in another profession.Resort to the lower school director brought a very defensive response .The biggest problem is the lack of an ethical culture on the part of the children.It seems to me if the parents make a large enough contribution to the school, their children are allowed to engage very dubious behavior without consequences. The marketing materials and the reality are quite different. Read less
