The Knox School

I really like this school. The teachers are very nice and help children grow physically and mentally healthy. The school also has high professionalism, where one can further improve their language and writing skills. Beautiful environment, good air, and excellent curriculum design are the highlights of this school.

The campus is incredibly beautiful, the environment is very nice, and it's very large. All facilities such as a gym, library, etc., are readily available. The faculty is very strong and professional. Students at the school come from relatively good families, so the social circles are also very impressive.

Knox's teachers genuinely care for their students and actively communicate with parents to provide feedback on their children's growth and progress.

Strongly support students in choosing challenging courses, and provide one-on-one tutoring for university application preparation starting from 9th grade.

The school environment is beautiful, and students have a diverse selection of courses, including equestrian and rowing, all taught by top-tier coaches. The dormitory environment is safe, with many faculty and staff also residing on campus. On weekends, the school organizes activities to allow children to experience American culture. Academic requirements are high, and after-school tutoring and college application guidance are also provided.

The Knox School is located in St. James, New York, on the North Shore of Long Island, just one mile from the Long Island Sound and approximately a 1.5-hour drive from New York City. Founded in 1904, the school is a boarding school for grades 6-12.

The school emphasizes educational quality with flexible and diverse teaching activities, allowing children to learn, live, and grow in such a campus. Parents can rest assured!

AP science and STEM subjects offer many high-quality courses, while humanities and liberal arts have very high language requirements.

Long Island's oldest private school, with a small student body and a 100% college acceptance rate.

With a 100% university acceptance rate, there is a strong emphasis on cultivating character and resilience, highlighting the dual development of sports and academics. Daily from 3 to 5 PM is dedicated to physical exercise, and every student must participate.

Offering nearly 30 AP and honors courses, the number and quality of subjects are remarkably high for a private school with fewer than 150 students.

Dual Enrollment courses allow high school students to earn college credits in advance, with each credit being approximately 60-80% cheaper than taking them at university.

Generally speaking, liberal arts teachers tend to have very high requirements, often involving a great deal of writing. For Chinese students, the language barrier is a significant hurdle.

A large number of high-level courses, with approximately 30 Honor, AP, and Capstone courses available for selection. The scope and depth covered are considered very high level in New York.

My eldest son graduated from KNOX last year, was accepted into NYU and UCLA, and ultimately chose to stay in New York. The school places great emphasis on character development, and the children are all exceptionally polite.

The academic atmosphere is rich, the professionalism is high, and the faculty is very strong. I've heard that some teachers have won Nobel Prizes.

The school atmosphere is quite good. Younger students and older students often have opportunities to train in sports together, and equestrian training is very well-known locally.

This is the child's second year here. Because there aren't many students, the teachers are very responsible and provide targeted guidance for each student's specific problems.

A school in an established wealthy area, with a spacious campus like a tranquil paradise, directly facing Long Beach. It's a great place to settle down and study with peace of mind. On weekends, resident students are arranged to go out for activities or to purchase items.

What I like most is the school's excellent environment. Surrounded by greenery, with the tide coming in, it's truly an oasis for peaceful learning. Of course, going to Manhattan every week is also very convenient.

Furthermore, the boarding houses provide excellent accommodation spaces, with good dormitory environments and complete ancillary facilities. Children are very happy to receive an excellent education and life care at the school, which, in my opinion as a parent of students, makes it an excellent choice. The school's philosophy itself is the best choice.

The new principal is an educator from Columbia University. Having heard her speeches, I feel that a leader with such breadth of vision can cultivate excellent talent. The school is very good, the campus is breathtakingly beautiful, and the child is also very happy.

This year, a new principal took over, bringing many reforms to school management and faculty. The new principal is an educator from Columbia University, and I was deeply moved after listening to her speech. When my child chose a school, they insisted on going to New York. This place is an hour away from New York, and students are arranged to participate in activities every weekend. St.James is also an old established wealthy area, and my child feels very good about it, except for having to wear a uniform every day.
