Shaker Road School: Connections and Community
At Shaker Road School, our community is at the heart of everything we do. Meaningful connections made at SRS last well beyond graduation. Don’t just take our word for it—hear directly from those who know us best. Explore the stories, reflections, and experiences shared by families, alumni, faculty, and students who have made SRS their home.
“SRS gave them the confidence to try new activities…because their time at SRS demonstrated that trying different things can be a very positive experience. Most importantly, SRS allowed them both to have a strong sense of self going into high school, along with a belief in demonstrating respect for all of their peers, regardless of how close or distant they were in their relationships to others.”
“She went into high school with better time management and study skills than her peers and the self confidence and maturity to create and maximize opportunities for herself.”
“A great community to grow up in. Flexible daycare hours and incredible educators for children of quite wide age ranges. A home away from home. Plenty of gorgeous acres to run and play and learn on!!”
“When I reflect back at decisions we’ve made in our life’s journey – Shaker Road School was one of the best decisions we made! The education is at a very high-level and our daughter was well prepared for High School and College. She went there as a preschooler until eighth grade and then even worked there in the summer camp season. The Hicks family and the amazing staff at Shaker Road School are forever in our heart, I only have positive things to say! We can’t thank the Hicks family and the amazing faculty at SRS enough for all they did in helping us raise our amazing daughter. I miss them all- guess it’s time for a visit to SRS!”
“SRS has made it possible for us to be a full time working family and have our children thrive in a full school experience. The flexible hours and on-campus experiences combined with the great education and loving teachers it has been well beyond what we could have imagined. Shaker is a place that our children love to be and as parents we know when we drop them off they are safe and happy.”
“All 3 of my children have been at SRS since preschool. The level of education, both in academics and in life, has surpassed anything we could have envisioned. Even more importantly, at SRS you feel, and are treated, like family. It has been an experience for both children and parents that has been invaluable and has created a foundation for their future that will serve them their entire lives. I can’t speak highly enough of SRS, the staff, and the Hicks family and I would highly recommend you giving your children and family the opportunity to have this experience as well.”
“An ideal combination of wonderful educators, caring staff, excellent facilities and extensive extra curricular activities. Our son loves Shaker Road School.”
“SRS does not just provide excellent academics, but a strong sense of community, as well. SRS is a family, so much so, that my two graduates have come back as camp counselors during summer camp. Another amazing strength of Shaker is all the opportunities and field trips offered outside of, or in support of, academics. Some of my kids’ greatest memories are the trips to D.C., AMC, leadership, etc.“
“My grandchildren love their school and community. Purposeful opportunities, well thought out curriculum, nurturing faculty, established principals and outstanding leadership are just a few of the benefits Shaker offers families. As an educator, parent and grandparent I highly recommend this school.”
“My granddaughter attends Shaker Road and she has really blossomed since attending. The teachers are aware of everything she does and keeps her mother apprised of any issues that they all can work on. Shaker Road offers so much for the children. They are definitely a learning academy.”
