Parent Testimonials

Parent to Parent on Academic Challenge

"I heard a show on NPR about American education. The model that they described of what works for the 21st century -- the creativity, communication, writing, teamwork, motivation of the individual, and experiential learning -- is Solebury School."

Parent to Parent on The Faculty

"...have a passion for teaching."

"...are demanding and yet forgiving. And they're incredibly devoted to these students."

"...go beyond what's expected to expose kids to a way of thinking, to life, to what's outside these four walls."

Parent to Parent on Small School Size

"Before she came to Solebury, my daughter was a middle-of-the-roader, someone who did what she had to do to get by. When she came here, she couldn't hide anymore, and she actually became interested in academics. She really cares about achieving here, partly because her friends care and partly because people know who she is. It's challenged her."

Parent to Parent on Cross-Cultural Experiences

"I thank the teachers and staff members of Solebury School for their hard work in teaching and guiding our students, and the parents of American students for taking care of international students just like your own children." -- international parent

Parent to Parent on Middle School

"It's wonderful how middle schoolers have the opportunity to take electives or honors/advanced classes with upper schoolers. It helps develop their maturity and reasoning skills. The clubs and after-school activities are also integrated and offer good role models for the younger kids."
