Henry James Memorial School

3 of my children went through Henry James. As parents we only have rave reviews, it’s a superior school environment. All 3 kids truly enjoyed their time. Each grade is divided into cohorts based on 5 colors to allow for a more intimate experience, although there is blending for certain classes.

Good School and excellent teaching staff and administrators.

Sadly, this doesn't seem to be an "all inclusive" school for kids. If you are not one of the Simsbury Lottery hitting (stay-at-home) moms, who are not connected with the PTO and able to volunteer, don't expect your kid to make the drama club or select chorus their first year. Seems like the school has fizzled a little since their last prinicpal moved on to greener pastures.

I am not over the top with this school like many seem to be. I feel that the staff is more concerned with reputation than events that how the children are actually affected. The staff will work with you on issues, but unfortunately it is usually after the fact, and the parent (though they "involve you") really ends up having little say. I also feel that there is a SEVERE liberal agenda being pushed in some of the classes, and the students can't really have an opinion unless it mirrors the instructor without it reflecting in their grade.
