This is not a good school. Lots of textbook instruction. "Biology" class taught nothing but the PETA agenda.

A small co-ed school with a lot of heart! The campus is expansive, the teachers are outstanding, and they program your child for success. This is not a school for your child if they have behavior or emotional issues, look to the Foreman School if that is the case. This is you basic prep boarding school that, due to small class size, allows those that would fall between the cracks in a larger environment- to focus on the subject matter and grasp the material. A very family type setting, the staff are your child's family away from home. Like most boarding schools, there is no tolerance for poor behavior. You can get extra academic help in a program called, "Strategies" but beware, the tuition and extra program have very high price tags although well worth the cost. Students are very happy here and the campus is expanding and improving every year to meet the demands of new applicants. The dorm common areas could use some sprucing up but the student rooms themselves are an ample size, bright with nice big picture window views. You'd be hard pressed to find a more involved faculty and creative electives. The athletics and state of the art new gym are terrific and, if sports aren't your thing, a wonderful music and theatre department. I can't imagine where students would feel more comfortable and learn in this tight environment in a better boarding school. Unless your child is Exeter or Choate material, this place has it all.

Marvelwood is a great School and prepare the sudent for independence and prepare for the university life. The staff is amaizing and give to the student a second chance.

I didn't quite realize at the time...but truly the best experience of my life. I am who I am because of my one year here. I am infinitely grateful for everything this place has to offer..

There's nothing to do at this waste of a school, I don't know where the $50,000 tuition goes but I'd love to find out.

Marvelwood is the school we were looking for. Our daughter came for Jr and Sr. year. Our only regret is that we did not know about it earlier. She needed a school that would celebrate her interests and talents, free from bias, bullies and keep her love of learning alive through any struggle. They gave her the tools for independence that she needs for college and the global perspective we wanted for her through the classmates and friends she now has from around the world. If you are looking for tools, but not the box, this is the place for you.
