Research Pine Brook School private Schools in Ansonia, Connecticut

“The middle school program (6th-8th grades) at Pine Brook School is a wonderful option for families on the shoreline who are looking for strong academic program couple with a small, nurturing environment. The program is creative, engaging, and challenging, and produces students who are confident, successful, well-rounded, community-minded scholars. This program exemplifies what middle school should be about - discovery, engagement in learning, higher-order thinking skills, appropriate risk-taking, and the fostering of respect for self, others, and the environment.”

“Top-notch programs, faculty, administration; warm, nurturing environment; wonderful social atomosphere that fosters respect, tolerance, generousity; creative, rigorous, integrated academics”

“High-quality, challenging, enriching, and creative core academic program is enhanced by classes in art, music, drama, PE, Spanish, outdoor education, and global studies. All teachers and administrators know each and every student; they are talented, committed, and accessible. Parent involvement is encouraged and is highly visible.”

“I cannot say enough about how wonderful Wightwood School had been for our family. My son transferred in to the Middle School... if I could go back in time I would start him there in kindergarten! The Principal greets the children in the morning and knows both children and parents by name. The teachers care about each child taking the time to identify their personal strengths and weaknesses and work with them to help them become the 'best that they can be', setting regular academic and personal goals for growth. The environment is warm and accepting, the academics are very strong- my child is leaps and bounds ahead of his grade. The curriculum is enhanced with numerous field trips into the community to make learning real and applicable to everyday life. My only complaint is that the school does not extend all the way through 12th grade!”
