Bunting and Lyon has endeavored, since 1943, to portray private independent schools as purveyors of education in both the formal and broader senses. Along with details about student enrollment, courses, and tuition, our private school directory includes descriptions of private schools for information about learning beyond the classroom. Potential applicants glean a good sense of a school’s total environment when reading the private school descriptions and our supplemental informational grids.

Our private school directory represents a wide array of private school opportunities: They may be Montessori, religious, military, boarding, day, elementary, or secondary schools. Whether small or large, urban or rural, single-sex or coeducational, these private schools present core curricula that challenge students and provide them with the skills for academic success.
