I have been a Maret parent for seven years now. Both of my children started out in middle school, and my older one just graduated. We love Maret; the community genuinely cares for the kids. The academics are rigorous, and the students are often very busy with homework, which means less sleep in high school. The only concern is the lack of sufficient sports fields, requiring the students to take a bus for home games. The teachers are great, and the parents are very involved.

I came to maret in my 9th grade year and from the start it was an amazing and welcoming experience. The atmosphere and culture here is both infectious and unique, with a cozy family like feel among both the students and teachers. My love for history and English were both fostered and developed here through the amazing humanities program and its teachers. You really can't go wrong with attending this school especially in the upper school.

Amazing community with a strong focus on academics and well rounded children. Teaches kids to be independent learners.

I am the parent of three Maret alumni, all of whom started in kindergarten. Each of them, though very different individuals, had a fabulous experience at Maret. We could not be happier with the high-quality academics, sports, and other extracurriculars the school provided them. The ongoing strong se...

Leadership, in my opinion, makes all the difference both in and out of the classroom. Leardership that is student focused verses organizational focused is why we looked to a private school education. Attitudes generally reflect leadership, Maret has a few wonderful teachers as does many other privat...

Not only the school environment is great but they also really want to know about your kid qualities as a person, academically etc. other schools spoke so much about their school curriculum and curses they offer (which of course is something we all are interested too) but didn't show much interest in...
