From 8th grade to 11th grade now, my son has been studying in a school full of love. Teachers are very meticulous and patient with the students. The students also care for each other. The school environment is excellent, and there is a strong learning atmosphere.

The completion of the school's new library and the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center building has significantly promoted the development of the school in terms of further improving teaching hardware.

This school enjoys a high reputation in the Greater New York area. It is a campus with various ethnic groups and countries.

My son is currently a freshman at The Masters School, and our experience so far has been truly positive. He often shares wonderful things about his teachers and the valuable knowledge he’s gaining in his classes, as well as his enthusiasm for the sports programs he’s participating in.

I greatly appreciate the school’s convenient location, which makes travel to and from campus so easy for families. I’m also especially impressed with the school’s new “no cell phone during class time” policy. It’s a thoughtful approach that encourages students to stay focused and fully engage in their learning.

Additionally, the Parent Association here deserves a lot of credit for organizing such a wide variety of activities. From the very beginning, we have felt warmly welcomed into this vibrant and inclusive community. It’s clear that The Masters School places a strong emphasis on fostering connection and support among families, which we deeply value.
