Great science teachers. Post-racial American feeling esp in events such as walk-a-thon.

The Carey School is a truly special place! We have been part of the Carey community for the past 6 years, our oldest just graduated, and is heading onto middle school well-prepared and as a confident student and person, while our youngest continue to grow and thrive at Carey (headed into 4th grade).The curriculum is well-rounded, and keeps the students engaged. It's clear to see the collaboration between teachers in various subjects, which makes the school experience for the students cohesive and consistent.The teachers are great at making learning fun regardless of grade and subject, and thanks to the small class sizes and student teacher ratios, they really get to know your child's strengths and weaknesses. Our children have very different personalities and learning styles, and it's been impressive to see how well each teacher knows them and ensures that they learn in a manner that is best for them individually.We continue to be impressed by Carey's commitment to investing in the faculty and community, and how the leadership makes sure that current best practices and philosophy is implemented based on science and research. For instance, there's very little (if any) homework now, and over the years there's been a greater emphasis on social justice.The Carey School continues to exceed our expectations, not only are both our children strong academically thanks to Carey, but they are kind and curious people, as well, due to Carey's focus on making sure that they provide a holistic education with the whole child in mind.

We can't imagine our boys' lives without the experience of being at the Carey School for their K-5 years. Every single one of their teachers has made a lasting impact on their overall growth and development,with a level of kindness, caring and dedication that is truly top notch in every respect. Over the years, their curriculum has continued to evolve, getting better each year. We particularly noticed the shift away from lots of homework in the upper grades in favor of developing more independent learning skills during the school day, providing assignments to complete during study hall periods that used to be work that was completed at home. We also noticed a renewed commitment to more social justice learning, which is particularly vital in this political moment.What is clear about a Carey education is that it prepares children to be life-long learners by giving them practice in accepting feedback, knowing their learning style and developing key study skills, and most of all, being kind and generous children who accept one another and support their peers through thick and thin. The teachers really get to know your child, and the incredible feedback they provide on detailed rubric-based report cards twice a year are truly extraordinary. We have just finished 10 years at the Carey School, and are so sad to leave this generous, warm and tight-knit community. We are so grateful that our children had the opportunity to be shaped by so many talented and dedicated educators in their formative years at this wonderful school.
