Campbell Hall review by Belmont University student.
Campbell Hall adequately prepared me for college. There was a range of levels available for every subject, tailoring to the needs of each student. I was adequately challenged and was able to even take special studies courses for classes that they did not offer. Class sizes were small so teachers were attentive to the needs of the students.

The homework load is pretty extensive, especially for students who take mostly AP and honors classes, however once I got to college homework and classes were a breeze because I not only had less homework, but I also had great study skills.
Campbell Hall has a pretty decent college counseling program. For the average student the program.... Get the real inside story on college counseling at Campbell Hall as experienced by former pupil and Belmont University student — Login or Sign Up to access full review
Sample insights on college counseling

Ask questions and be interested. Also, tip for the parents: the kids speak on the tour. Do not ask their questions for them...
Most younger siblings have an easy time in the admissions process. I can only think of one case of a younger sibling not being admitted. About half of the students who entered with me had come from public schools. The remainder came from private K-6 schools, or had transferred from other New York private schools The Elizabeth Morrow School and St. Bernard were two of the larger feeder schools...
Overall, I had a good experience at Campbell Hall. Peers are mostly very supportive as a community, and although there always are immature students in a high school, most were respect of different beliefs and cultures. I would however say that there are some issues within the school that were difficult to deal with, although it is not necessarily an issue that the school can directly help. Although the school might very well be fiscally diverse on paper, the high amount of families at the higher end of the economic spectrum creates a very competitive environment in the school to....
