Grier School

I spent all four years of high school at Grier, and I could not be more thankful for my experience. The teachers and faculty are all so invested in and dedicated to their work, and small class sizes made it so easy for me to form personal bonds with both them and my fellow students. It's so rare and valuable to find a community of teenagers who have so much respect for themselves and one another, and I will cherish the friendships I made here for the rest of my life. I'm now studying acting and music theatre at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, and I can say without a doubt that I wouldn't be here today without Grier. My classes at Grier went above and beyond to prepare me for NYU both academically and artistically in ways the public school in my area never could have. With all of the diverse academic and extracurricular opportunities Grier has to offer, there's a place here for every kind of girl to flourish.

The four years at Grier School had been heartwarmingly memorable. Coming from abroad, not only did I acquire knowledge and skill sets to succeed in a new society, but more importantly I learned how to care for others and how to care for myself, surrounded by a community of support and by appreciation for both Nature and Culture.
