My son attends Charles River School and could not be happier. He absolutely loves going to school each day and wishes the school did not end after 8th grade. CRS makes learning fun. Academic rigor is balanced with strong social emotional support. The school encourages kids to be curious, self-aware, compassionate and understanding toward others. It's ok to take risks and try new things and fail because you will be supported. Learning is not competitive. The community is very warm and supportive. I really wish I had the opportunity to attend a school like CRS when I was a kid because it provides a great foundation of knowledge as well as a curious and thoughtful approach to lifelong learning.

I am both an alum as well as a parent of 3 kids who have attended Charles River School (1 still in attendance). It is a school I credit with so much of my own development as a productive member of society - personally and professionally. I still count some of the friends I made during my 10 years at the school as my closest to this day. The school has offered my own kids the same level of excellence in academics, arts, and athletics that I enjoyed. I feel a great debt of gratitude to the school for all it has done for my family.

Since joining Charles River School almost 7 years ago, I remain impressed and thrilled that my child has the privilege and opportunity to attend a school that fosters the importance of "igniting curiosity, encouraging creativity, and cultivating intellectual engagement. " At CRS children are allowed and expected to be children. They can win high awards at Model UN conferences one day and spin around with glee on the new merry-go-round the next--without judgment, only encouragement.Charles River School's approach to learning has allowed my child to truly love learning. Even when the content might take a little longer to grasp, the teachers and support folks are right there, ready and able to present the material in ways that truly resonates with your child's learning style. We leave our children in the hands of others for hours upon hours and in most situations you can only hope that they return a better version of themselves. At CRS, the growth is undeniable and noticeable on day 1.

My children had a wonderful, well rounded experience at CRS. They all had wonderful options for secondary school - and have been doing well in their studies post CRS. They felt well prepared for the setting and curriculum that followed their studies. They continue to speak fondly about their time at CRS. I highly recommend CRS to other families.

CRS is a place where my children learn through exploration and curiosity. They are challenged to think critically, learn from mistakes, and work with others. It is also a place where they find the simple joys of childhood and feel free to be their unique selves. We are so grateful to have found CRS and the incredible learning experience it offers.
