Washington School

Saint Rose of Lima is a warm and welcoming environment. The children are nurtured and we feel this is an excellent place to flourish academically and emotionally. I have never witnessed anything but happy and well-mannered kids, holding doors open and greeting you with a kind word. It is so refreshing to see that in middle schoolers. We have loved all of our teachers here.

I am a parent of two Far Brook alumni - one in college and one in high school. While our children had different academic interests and personalities, Far Brook instilled a love of learning, sense of agency (in their own lives and in the world), and self-awareness/knowledge (of themselves as students, leaders, and community members). When they graduated from the 8th grade, they were prepared for highly competitive, academically rigorous high schools and - equally importantly to us - they were prepared to be true to themselves, their ethics, and their values as they ventured into the broader world of high school and beyond.
