Choosing Maplebrook School was, without question, one of the best. -Maplebrook has helped our son become the very best version of himself--academically capable, socially connected, independent, and genuinely confident. We are profoundly grateful for the dedicated staff who believe in him and support him every single day. -From the moment he arrived, we knew this was more than a school. It is a community that understands how each student learns, grows, and thrives. -Academically, the small class sizes and individualized instruction have made all the difference. Teachers meet him exactly where he is, challenge him thoughtfully, and celebrate every success along the way. For the first time, he feels proud of his accomplishments. His confidence in the classroom has soared, and he now sees himself as capable. -Independence has flourished through boarding life. The structured yet nurturing residential environment has strengthened his executive functioning and communication skills. He manages his time, stays organized, advocates for himself, and takes responsibility for his daily routines. Watching him grow into a self-assured, capable young man has been incredibly rewarding. Just as important, the residential staff are deeply integrated into the school community--they are mentors and educators, not simply supervisors. -Socially, our once-lonely son has found his people. He has built meaningful friendships with peers who understand and support one another. His relationships have deepened his empathy, strengthened his communication skills, and brought more joy into his life than we ever imagined possible. -Athletics have been another transformative part of his experience. At his previous school, team sports were not accessible to him. At Maplebrook, he has embraced the opportunity to compete and belong. Participating in team sports has improved his physical health while fostering teamwork, discipline, resilience, and leadership. Being part of a team has given him a sense of pride and belonging that carries into every area of his life. -Choosing Maplebrook was an act of faith during a difficult time. Today, we see a young man who feels capable, connected, and confident about his future--and that is a gift beyond measure.

I was in Maplebrook roughly from ages 16 to 20 that would've been 2018-2022 (4 & a half years)…read more In my high school years while Mrs.Konkolics was head of school it started off rough, I was shy and bullied without any help or friends to "fit in" with. Not to mention I was never taught; sex ed, relationship navigation, health or anything an average high schooler should learn before college in their teen years. This set me back years later after I left Although it started out rough once I got comfortable I made a lot of friends and started to speak more with great memories. However there were many times that made me very depressed and even threated by the head of school to be sent to a mental hospital. These examples are; "R.I.S.E Program" made me feel less than other students as if other students could easily achieve things because they were favored and I wasn't lack of screen time lost my friends from back home & not only increased more stress by taking away my coping mechanisms but also home sickness because there was barely any time to call my family. My mentor and I never really got on a bonding level the staff I would bond with either got fired or quit with no easy transitioning period. When I graduated and went into the "Institute" where Mrs. Scully ran the first part of my "college experience" went well. However mid way into the year "college" started feeling like a high school and a drama soap opera. What was supposed to feel like college felt more like high school, I felt more at home with DCC than I did with MBS. Not to mention the chemicals they put in the water to "help purify it" made me feel sick to my stomach MBS is very good at social faking and drawing you in for your money but once you do your research or enrol you start to realize "maybe this school is too unhealthy for my young adult" I wish I had pulled a student aside and personally asked them "what do you REALLY think of this school" before I went there I been keeping an eye out on my old school because of my fond memories and have noticed they have hidden their past because they are ashamed of it, if you look on their social media and you scroll down more it'll prove my point. Most of my school year photos they have taken down (I have put a photo below to show this point) Not to mention the locals can tell you more information, they have been traveling for internationals because the locals are smart enough not to torcher their students. I have not been back in a while, however i used to keep in contact with some of the students currently there. I have heard "I get abused", "It's more like a military school" & "It is more strict than when you used to go here, your years sound made up" I hope my Alumni review can help when making future decisions,
