Suggestions for private schools in Mississippi?

I'm looking into private schools in Mississippi and would love some input on which ones have the best academic or extracurricular programs. Any advice on what makes a specific school stand out?

a year ago

Mississippi is home to several strong private schools that offer a diverse array of academic and extracurricular programs. Here are a few to consider:

1. Jackson Preparatory School: This school in Flowood is known for its rigorous academics that prepare students for college. They have a strong Advanced Placement program and offer a variety of courses across disciplines. They also have impressive extracurricular offerings, including sports, arts, and clubs.

2. St. Andrew's Episcopal School: Located in Ridgeland, St. Andrew's is renowned for its stellar academics and notable emphasis on arts and humanities. They have engaging extracurricular activities in the arts, such as drama and music. Their globally-focused curriculum also makes them stand out.

3. Pillow Academy: Based in Greenwood, this school stands out for its exceptional athletics. While academics are certainly strong, they also have a particularly outstanding selection of sports clubs and activities.

4. Madison-Ridgeland Academy: In Madison, this school offers strong academics and a comprehensive athletics program. They also have a vibrant community spirit and student-led organizations that foster leadership and character.

Ultimately, considering the best fit for you will depend on your personal goals and interests. Try to get a feel for each school's culture, either by visiting or attending virtual tours, and consider what you're most looking to get out of your high school experience. Remember, the "best" school isn't necessarily the most prestigious one, but the one where you'll thrive and be happy.
