Carroll School changed our lives. It made Bryan believe in himself and gave him the tools to move forward academically and take charge of his destiny. He did that 100% and is starting his freshman year at Stanford University this fall.

Thanks to Carroll and all the wonderful faculty who taught me, I have become a successful molecular biologist, having earned my Ph.D. in 2012. Since then I have been working on understanding various diseases at Brandeis University and now Harvard's School of Public Health.

If not for Carroll, my daughter would still feel "stupid" and ashamed. Because of Carroll, she is now in Chile working with a leadership group, she loves literature, and she wants to be a lawyer.

At my old school, nobody pushed me. When I would say "I can't do this" my teacher would just move on. At Carroll, teachers stay and really help you.

Thanks to Carroll, my daughter is now a happy, motivated college sophomore. There is not only art and science, but a fair amount of magic at work at Carroll School.

Carroll has always and will always have a special place in my heart. I arrived at the age of eight not being able to read and left many years later a strong student with academic skills that would lead me into receiving a Masters in Education.

If not for Carroll, I never would have received this text from my son: “Can’t chat right now; I’m at a coffee shop reading The Economist.” He has graduated from college and is happily working in finance in New York City. Thank you to every single Carroll teacher who helped him discover his strengths and talents; you made it all possible!

If you're a future student here, you are going to love it. This place is mind blowing. You're going to want to get up early every morning and say, "I'm going to school!"

If not for Carroll, my daughter would have had a completely different trajectory. Instead of despair, there is confidence. Instead of failure, there is success. Instead of hating learning, she loves it.
