"As a student of The Bishop's School, I am constantly academically stimulated. The small class sizes, and dedicated teachers enrich my learning. Despite some beliefs, Bishop's is not made up of arrogant students, but is instead filled with students who express a curiosity for knowledge. The only downside is that the transition from a public school to Bishop's can be challenging as it was for me. K-8 I was in public school, and I made all A's, but upon transferring, I received my first B. However, once one becomes accustomed to the work load and difficulty of Bishop's one will fully realize the benefits of this school."

"I don't think parents should be submitting review. They're not the ones going to school at Bishop's, after all. The teachers are great. It doesn't matter if some of their styles are "antique," they're still doing a fantastic job of teaching the information. And no, the school will not necessarily stress you out. There is a wide range of courses available, with workloads highly depending on the classes one takes. I, as well as others I know, aren't taking classes just for a good transcript. That's not why we go to Bishop's. We go to Bishop's because it allows us to enjoy learning in classes we want to take. And why does it matter if the buildings are outdated? My grandfather was educated in a very small, old school with inadequate facilities but received numerous degrees, including one from MIT. So listen to the people who go to Bishop's and spend more of their time there than at home, not parents. I wake up before 6:00 AM every morning, live 25 miles from school, and spend tons of time commuting and doing homework. I'm not stressed though. Part of going to Bishop's is taking advantage of your opportunity at the school, not complaining about it."

"The Bishop's School is a truly amazing school. It provides students with the tools to become grateful, intellectual, and thoughtful citizens. Most of the students have 100+ hours of community service, exceeding the required amount. The Bishop's School provides students with opportunities to play any sport he/she deems interesting without fear of being cut from the team. But the school also maintains an excellent record of academics and athletics. The school has some of the best Water Polo, Lacrosse, Tennis, and Soccer Players in the state as well as many nationally ranked Squash Players and Tennis Players."

"Bishop's places a huge emphasis on extracurriculars. They are willing to give any student an opportunity at leadership or becoming a better citizen by encouraging any extracurricular project or activity. The main reason they offer few AP classes to 10th graders is the fact they want the students to build connections and experiences rather than get bogged down by repeated studying for classes that they have 2 more years to enrich themselves in. It's a great philosophy. And the results don't lie; Wall Street Journal's survey in 2007 listed The Bishop's School as the top Ivy League Feeder School in San Diego and one of the top schools in the nation. Sending your child here gives them a great advantage, as they are exposed to the best teachers and staff in San Diego."
