Parent Testimonials
Cambridge School improved my son’s areas of need but also bolstered his individual strengths. My child has grown in a way that he never would have at another school due to the excellent individualized and warm environment. The teachers are highly educated, thoughtful, and nurturing. They provide rigorous academic challenges, as well as the tools and strategies needed to meet those challenges. I am so pleased.

Thank you to every Cambridge teacher for teaching my girls to: read, write, comprehend, not be afraid of a math problem, advocate for themselves, be a friend, and be kind. Also, for always being patient and kind to them. Most of all thank you for loving my children like they were your own. There is no other school in the world that would do that.

I vividly remember being reassured when Deb would tell us about Cambridge alum excelling and thriving in high school and beyond. Zac was accepted into Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, the smallest in the Ivy League. My many thanks to everyone at the Cambridge School who took my failing, insecure child and helped him flourish. His success is your success.

I wish every school was like Cambridge School. Every child would benefit from its warm and inviting environment. They stress kindness and being respectful to others. They encourage students and I cannot say enough good things about it. The growth in my daughter’s reading and writing is unbelievable.

Our daughter was a vibrant, confident, spirited child until she entered first grade. In her first year of public school, she became quiet, sad, lost her spunk, and hated going to school. This is when she was diagnosed with dyslexia. When we walked through Cambridge’s doors, I completely forgot how far we lived and knew in my heart this is where my daughter belonged. She started in second grade and within just a short week or two we got our girl back! …From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for giving her the confidence and skills she needs to blossom in high school.

We are not accustomed to the incredibly high level of professionalism and compassionate attention that Cambridge provides. For the first time since very early in his school career, our son is actually happy to go to school. He’s confident in his schoolwork and is making obvious progress in all the areas that have challenged him. We are so grateful, you have no idea how you’ve returned to us a sense of hope for his future and created for us a much less stressful present. I only wish we’d known about you sooner. Thanks, from the bottom of our hearts.

Andrew came to Cambridge with bruised confidence and challenges that had not been supported effectively. He leaves Cambridge a confident, independent learner, and a happy young man. The successes that you nurtured will stay with him for a lifetime.

I drove by the old school site the other day and was just flooded with memories of our years as part of the Cambridge family. Cole attended Wake Forest University. He received over a 3.9 GPA and was invited to apply for a merit based academic scholarship granted to high achieving students at Wake. I feel so strongly that Cambridge launched him in his academic life. Not only did you help him to unlock the barriers he had to traditional learning, but you taught him the value of hard work and perseverance. He still has to work “that much harder” than the person next to him, but he feels that there is nothing he cannot accomplish if he sets his mind to it. The foundation for that attitude was set at Cambridge.

The magic taking place within the walls and classrooms of your school is truly amazing. You have discovered the ability to take children who are frustrated with trying to learn and introduce them to new ways of learning. You helped them develop an enthusiasm, passion, and love for learning. Cambridge School has developed our daughter into a confident young scholar who has a passion and love for learning today.

I have been to all of my son’s Cambridge basketball games and am truly amazed by the sportsmanship and care that the students show. In this day and age where kindness and humbleness are rare, it is so nice to know that my child is part of such an amazing community. Cambridge School truly embraces the entire child; academically, socially and spiritually. My son has been so lucky to have such a supportive environment

Last night, my husband and I were driving home from Lincoln Center and our thoughts turned to you and how far Zac has come since he began second grade at the Cambridge School, his confidence shaken, barely able to read at a preschool level. We were attending Zac’s White Coat Ceremony for the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Hard to believe he is now an MD candidate. It seems like yesterday when I had so many restless nights wondering if he would even be able to attend college before we found the Cambridge School. You and your faculty and staff played a big role in allowing him to pursue his dreams of becoming a surgeon, so I needed to share this occasion with you and all of those at Cambridge who touched our lives.

Lilly is on the Dean’s List of the School of Arts and Sciences at Catholic University of America. Her excellence in school could not have been possible without Cambridge School! Thank you all for providing such a strong foundation for her education.

I can’t thank you enough for teaching Jake and helping to shape him into the young man he is today. Someone once said, “everyone is a genius but judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, and everyone will think they’re stupid.” That statement epitomizes the Cambridge School. So often it’s easy to focus on what our kids can’t do instead of promoting what they can do. All of the Cambridge staff have a gift. They each, in their own way, have a wonderful ability to address a child’s area of need while continuing to cultivate a child’s inner strengths and abilities.

Catherine was greeted with open arms as soon as she entered Cambridge, and it became a comfortable place to be herself. Catherine’s smile soon returned, her confidence and self-esteem were rebuilt as well as her determination, and she began learning in a way she truly understands.
We often asked ourselves “what kind of magic are they using at Cambridge School?” We soon realized it wasn’t magic, it was the incredible talent, knowledge, and passion that each of your teachers and staff members possess. They share these qualities with every student and encourage them to reach higher, strive for their personal best and to care about others and the world around you.
Today, my husband and I could not be prouder of Catherine. The possibilities for her are endless.

Cambridge School has completely changed the arc of my son’s academic life. We learned of his serious dyslexia in 7th grade. In 1 1/2 school years, he’s not only caught up, he’s beginning to thrive. College is no longer just a possibility, but we have every expectation that he’ll have a strong college experience, with no doors closed on his future.

The Cambridge School has been a godsend for our youngest daughter. We found the school after two terrifying years in public schools. Our daughter is dyslexic and by the third grade, she still wasn’t reading at all. We enrolled her in the Cambridge School and haven’t regretted our decision for one moment. The teachers at Cambridge are amazing and the curriculum is structured to support students with language-based differences. We are in awe of how far she has progressed since the third grade. We cannot recommend Cambridge School highly enough!
