As a parent, seeing my son thrive at Tabor Academy for four years was incredibly rewarding. He absolutely loved it there, and I can honestly say a huge part of that was the teachers. They were consistently supportive, always there when he needed that extra help or guidance, and they even pinpointed his strengths and encouraged him to explore new fields. That made all the difference. Beyond the academics, he really found his place and developed such a strong bond with his squash team. It was more than just a school; it was a community where he truly grew.

As a parent of a recent Tabor graduate, I’ve been impressed by the school’s balanced approach to education. Academically, my child was challenged by engaged teachers and a curriculum that encouraged independent thinking. The arts programs provided meaningful creative outlets, and athletics emphasized teamwork over pure competition. Socially, Tabor’s small size created a close community. Tabor provided a very supportive environment where our child grew academically, socially, and personally. We’re grateful for the experience.
