what our families say
Read below for what Everest Academy students, alumni, and families have to say about their experience at Everest Academy, where students are encourage to climb higher today, so they can go further tomorrow.
the Everest Academy Experience
First, I will start with the professionalism from all of the staff that we have come into contact with since day one at Everest Academy. We heard rave reviews from other families about Everest Academy but were a bit hesitant so we reached out to ask some questions. We received a call from admissions within 24 hours. The process was clear and when we expressed the issues we were having with our child’s current school, we received a call from the Vice Principal, who let us know all of the available supports for our child. We felt very supported and confident that we were making the right decision. Everest Academy has been a game changer for our son. He went from a child that hated going to school, to someone who jumps out of bed with excitement everyday. He didn’t want to go to his old school because he was labeled as too active, too competitive, too rough, etc. Now that he is at Everest, he is surrounded by like minded children who he actually enjoys being around and he feels like he belongs there. It has been amazing to see his transformation into a happy, confident and engaged child. He not only likes the bus, school and food but he LOVES it! I cannot say enough about the teachers, staff and coaches and their ability to keep our child wanting to come back everyday. He is learning things not only in the classroom but outside of the classroom, on and off the ice. Their motto is “Climb higher today, go further tomorrow” and we could not agree more. Thank you Everest!"

My daughter has been at Everest for the last two years and it’s been one of
the best decisions we’ve made for her academic and athletic goals. The
personalized approach to the academic enrichment at Everest has not only
pushed her but made her excel. The athletics are second to none. The Everest Academy culture is built around being and doing your best. The teachers, staff and administration demonstrate that every day in the care and personalized guidance they give to their student-athletes. We couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.
At Everest I get to lift and practice five days a week. I am treated like an NCAA athlete.

Everest definitely gave me the skills and work ethic to play NCAA Division 1 Baseball. Everest allowed me to practice every single day with my coaches where I received tremendous instruction which has made me into the player I am today.

With its strong academic foundation, my son is afforded an opportunity to work at his own accelerated pace and continually challenge himself as he progresses in his studies. He perseveres and accepts nothing less than 100% effort from himself. Everest Academy also affords my son an opportunity to be engaged at a very competitive level in what he loves doing most .. hockey and lacrosse! Despite the increasing demands of the academic and athletic programs, he is also developing crucial time management skills that enable him to prioritize and remain in control of his rigorous and demanding programs."

The thing that excites me most about Everest is watching my son thrive in a great environment and from the support provided by a great team of teachers.

Everest has inspired my son to grow and mature as a student and as an athlete. The individual attention and relationships with the teachers creates an environment as no other that facilitates learning and the attitude of being the best you can be. My son doesn’t pray for snow days because 'school is awesome.'
We have been thoroughly impressed with the outstanding level of quality that both the academic and the athletic programs provide to prepare our son for success.

Everest Academy provides our daughter with increased depth and breadth in her academic program. The small class sizes allow her to fully explore the topic being learned and think more critically. The positive and inclusive atmosphere encourages her to more actively participate in class discussion. The fitness and athletic program have helped our daughter to be in the best shape of her life.

covid-19 online learning response
In response to the COVID-19 school closures, Everest Academy moved our entire student body to our unique online learning platform. We were so grateful for the phenomenal work done by our staff to get our classes up and running, and appreciate the feedback we received from parents along the way.
Through these difficult times, the school has made it very easy for us students to transfer over to online learning. It has been interactive, comforting, and a great way to utilize and get creative with our resources during these difficult times. Shoutout to the entire staff for making this all possible! Thanks again for all the support and I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe!
I am more grateful than ever that I have the kids going to Everest. Your response to this crisis has been nothing short of amazing
COVID 19 has challenged our entire society to react and adapt very quickly. Once again, the leadership at Everest Academy has proven to be equal to the task. It’s been a relief to see my son back at work every day (virtually of course), stimulating his brain and engaging in the world. Thank you for stepping up.
Well done Everest, it was wonderful to see the kids back together virtually. Wonderful leadership on part of administration and teachers.
First I’d like to say thank you [to] all the staff at Everest for absolutely everything you’ve brought forward for the students. I don’t for one second take for granted all the time and headache it has been to put this up and running. A huge thank you.
Thanks for this work you and the other teachers are doing to keep the kids going.
Huge thanks for organizing the online learning! Really appreciate all of the efforts that went into putting this in place so our kids don’t skip a beat in their learning. Big big thanks.
On behalf of the Glenn family I would just like to thank everyone for all your amazing work this week!!!
I know that all of you took time away from your March Break to make this happen.
I also know you are all balancing work and family the way the rest of us are.
Having classes happen has been a huge boost for Luke and Noah.
Having one thing stay the same in all of this crazy is not only good from a learning point of view, but it is huge for their mental health.
I know this has been so hard to get going and keep going... I just want you all to know how very much your work is appreciated!
So so glad our kids are at Everest!
... Leadership. Everest has taken the greatest leadership of any school that we have witnessed to adapt to this social experience we are all a part of. Our kids continue to engage at a high level for their academics and their physical activity, all remotely. And Everest staff accomplished this setup and flawless transition back to school during their vacation time. Unheard of.
We thank you and are so impressed!
Thanks again,
Erin & Scott
