From our students, parents, alumni, and teachers

At The Pen Ryn School, we pride ourselves on creating an environment that nurtures the wonderful bond between a teacher and student. Below, you'll find just a sampling of the feedback that we have received over the years.

"So again, I'll say it, I'm getting closer and closer to being published everyday, and it's gotten to a point where I can almost taste the rewards and book signings. And once more, I owe it all to everyone at Pen Ryn, I miss that school everyday, but nothing can compare to the hectic lifestyle of high school."
- Alex Inker, Class of 2006

"My son and myself have fond memories of The Pen Ryn School and its educators who make it such a special and magical place. As the economy, health care, unemployment and education have taken lead positions in the lives of so many, I think it has gone unnoticed just how important that strength of character, courage, values and critical thinking ability is to success and progress. Early education needs to provide a foundation of respect and passion for others and for learning. Pen Ryn is a model for such an education..."

"Our original reason for looking at Pen Ryn was the challenging academics. It was immediately apparent that Pen Ryn is about much more than just academics. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Our kids feel comfortable and their self-confidence continues to soar. It is obvious that the teachers and staff want to be at Pen Ryn. Their enthusiasm shines through in everything that they do, they really know our children and work with them in the best possible way. We are absolutely thrilled with Pen Ryn and couldn't imagine ever going anywhere else!"
- John & Barb Lupica, Alumni & Current Parents of Christian '07, Gina '09, Jane '11 and Kate '14

"We have been very impressed by everything we see at Pen Ryn. We enjoy watching our grandson interact with the other children, teachers, and parents. He is learning so fast, and having fun at the same time."
- Bill and Nancy Howell, grandparents of Thomas Barbaro, future class of 2015

"My son transferred into Pen Ryn in the 5th grade with only a few months left in the school year. I took him out of Catholic School, which was a very hard decision for my husband and I. Since that time, I know it was the best thing I could have done for my son. He is a happier, more rounded child and I am very thankful to the Pen Ryn community for all they have done to make my family feel welcome and a part of their family."
- James & Mary Beth Ricks, parents of Jim Ricks, Class of 2008

"We are always asked why we send our children to Pen Ryn when we live in a public school district that academically ranks top in the state. For us, it is not just academics, it is the positive environment that makes our children feel that they are important individuals who can think and act for themselves. We could never put a price tag on that!"
- Lisa and Shawn Linn, parents of Victoria, Class of 2009 and Connor, Class of 2011

"We cannot begin to tell you how pleased we are about our decision to come to Pen Ryn after a disappointing experience in another school. This has been such a good decision! Pen Ryn is a perfect mixture of excellent academics, warmth, and fun. It is great seeing how enthusiastic Stephen and Anna are about school each day. They are flourishing academically and socially. The teachers and administrators are truly dedicated and caring. Our family feels 'heard' and valued. We really enjoy the camaraderie and friendliness of the families and staff."
- Mike and Andrea Prager, parents of Stephen, Class of 2014 and Anna, Class of 2017
