I had three children at Trevor Day for many years. Trevor Day is a nice school with a nice community. It's not rigorous, creative, or engaging for students but it's fine for the average child. When we started at Trevor, it was more competitive with other private schools. The school has changed considerably over the years and now does not offer admissions to "accelerated students." Most of the time, my children complain about being bored. The materials they bring home are from standard publishers. The administration regularly told us that the school is small and that there is not enough support for staff to create a more engaging curriculum. Most of the good staff leave after a couple of years. The leadership at the elementary school is great, but the middle school leadership is wholly lacking vision and communication skills. For years, I recommended Trevor to friends, but I just can't anymore. The school community has become more of a country club focused on creating average students.

My son went to Trevor from kindergarten until he graduated in 2019. Trevor gave him opportunities to grow academically, accommodating and helping him develop his individual needs and constantly allowing him to grow as he needed. The teachers supported his curiosity and inquisitive, creative nature and he was inspired by their care and support. The school`s environment also nurtured his sense of community and the world at large. He was accepted in one of the best colleges in the world and just started, but he always speaks fondly of his years in Trevor and will continue the many wonderful friendships that he developed there as will continue his interest and involvement with this wonderful school. I can only highly recommend this school due to their academics as well as a kind, nurturing and supportive environment.
