Studying at Pilgrim School has given me positive and negative experiences. What I love about Pilgrim is its diversity; students come from all ranges and walks of life. This creates an amazing dynamic between peers. What I do not like about Pilgrim, however, is its level of academics. The math course is a mess and deadlines are not serious. Students are taught to do the minimum with no help to strive. There is a lack of emotion and care between the administration and its students.

Pilgrim School is pretty neat, and the building and classes aren't an issue. The only real problem people can run into is small town politics, but in general if they aren't of prickly personality, and are generally convivial and polite, everyone makes friends well.

This is not really a "school" The admin was terrible a decade ago and the current head of school did not make necessary changes, nor is she any more qualified than her predecessor, who also had ZERO real world ed experience.

This school sees the kids as dollar signs. The school cares more about the wealth of the parents or fundraising then the actual child. The school focuses on small issues instead of actual problems such as teasing. Save your money, and go elsewhere.

I am so please with what happy and engaged learners they have become, intellectually curi...

It is all around a wonderful school. My son has gone here since preschool and loves it. The faculty is nothing short of amazing. It’s a small team, great classes and engaged students that enjoy their time there.
