Chaminade High School

"Absolutely the best. Education is top notch. Faculty is caring, but firm. If you have any doubts about quality, check out the alumni. Also almost every student graduates from college, most of them very prestigious."

"Chaminade High School is an all boys school. The school is one of the best on Long Island. The reason I would love to go to the school here are the education they provide, the great activities, and how this school is one of the greatest on Long Island. Also this school is in a very nice neighborhood where you can pretty much trust everyone you see. Chaminade is simply one of the best all boys schools in the state of New York. The most I love about this school are the sports teams. Of course there are other clubs such as drama and band, but sporting events at Chaminade are a big deal. The Chaminade Flyers as they are called have a great reputation in sports such as lacrosse, basketball, and soccer. There are two types of teams for pretty much each sport. There is the JV team and the Varsity team. Another good quality of this school is they have a concussion policy. This states that if an injury like this should happen the player will be taken off the field and will have to must return symptom free before returning to the sport. This insures the safety of the teenager and the guardians will be happy the school knows what to do. Although many kids want to go to this school the parents have to worry about tuition. The total tuition is 11,255 dollars. The school does allow you though to pay not at once but rather in “trimesters”. For instance “first trimester” a parent has to pay 3,800 dollars. “Second trimester” a parent has to pay 3,455 dollars, and finally “third trimester” a parent has to pay 2,400 dollars.This allows you to pay altogether 9,655 dollars. That means that you’ll still have to pay another 2,000 dollars. This tuition price isn’t the greatest, but I’m sure the education is worth it for parents. If I have a son of my own going to Chaminade I’d definitely pay the price so my son can excel in life. I have thought of this question numerous times before I even had to write an essay on my most favorable high school. My ultimate question was what is the percentage of teenagers going to college. It turns out as I’m looking on the school site the percentage is 99%! How amazing is that! That is how great this school actually is. The percentage reflects what parents might think of this high school and the parents would be pleased. I know I probably would be. So another hugely asked question is how does this high school help my child get into college. Well the answer is very simple. This high school is one of the biggest on L.I. If your child is planning to go to a college in L.I these colleges will be looking out for schools like these. It may be even possible to get into an ivy league school. This is how this school benefits going into college. It gives the children the education they need to survive in life. It teaches the children to prosper."

"4 Years of an amazing education and feeling as if you were part of something bigger than just a school. This school has helped shape me in my morals as well as keep me driven in furthering my education. They welcome back alumni with open arms and do what they do best."

"it was not as fun as some traditional high schools... missed out on some things that may have seemed important at a young age.. but was well worth the sacrifice to become the person who I have become 30 years later.... looking back one could never regret the many opportunities provided post graduation."

"I graduated from Chaminade in 2003. I can undoubtedly say that this is the best high school on Long Island. It has molded me into the man I am today and has created a work ethic that has excelled me in my career. There is no choice! If your son can get in, he has to go."
