I have wanted to write this review for a long time. SAA was perfect for our son and our family. When you send a child to school during this time in history, SAA gave us peace of mind. This school produced a young man well on his way on the path of life. He is our third child and our first boy. SAA provided both education for his studies as well as social guidelines for life that we value and see our son exhibit time and time again. This school was the right choice. They tolerate the learning curve of boys but hold them accountable and have shown such basic love and kindness to the boys that I now understand why as we have seen alumni return to this little school time and time again through our years here. Sister Margaret weathered the storm of Covid very well and her level of communication has made her feel like family. She is very passionate about this school and it shows. All of our sons teachers here have had a positive impact upon our son and he will feel their impact for years to come. This school is small but as we hear other families’ stories of other schools we believe this was the best school for our son. Sports outside of school was a norm for us as well as his larger music world. They were current with technology use and were ahead of everyone when it began. Their robot team won awards and their football team is well known. We had three other boys who played hockey with our son in the school but we did not have a team unfortunately. We truly love this school and we highly recommend it for the development of young men especially during these challenging times in the world. We feel very fortunate that we had this school available for our son.

I was not fully prepared with other students at schools in the area. With time I was able to catch up but it was a let down to know I was not in line with peers. With other amazing schools in the area, Armenian culture can be supplemented with other regional programs if desired.

I do not recommend this school, in my opinion, I dislike this school and rather attend a public school, you would have more freedom and the teachers are rude here.

We have been part of The Grayson School community for six years and could not be happier. Grayson is the first school specifically designed for gifted students. We chose it because our son was far ahead in math, and even after skipping a grade, our excellent public school could not provide the challenge he needed.At Grayson, he learns at his level and took college level math in middle school. We love the focus on college preparation, including the Mastery Transcript system and early SAT preparation. For 2026 to 2027, Grayson had the highest median SAT score in Pennsylvania.Beyond academics, our son loves being on the robotics and Frisbee teams, coaching younger students in math competitions, and especially Project Based Open Studio. He built a gesture-controlled car, while a classmate built an advanced smartwatch.After six years, we have seen tremendous academic, social, and personal growth. We highly recommend Grayson for gifted children. It has been one of the best decisions we have made for our son.
