This is the leading Pre-K through ninth grade independent school on the North Shore. Any reviewer or guide who asserts that Shore rates students on smarts alone does not know much about this schools caring teachers, who are dedicated to childrens emotional and social well-being just as much as their academic performance. At Shore, courageous effort in the classroom, on the sports fields, in the arts, and throughout the community are rewarded far more often than winning. (Disclaimer: I am the schools director of communications as well as the parent of a Shore student.)

Rates kids on how smart they are, not how hard they try. Also boasts that they are a better option
