Hear From a Student
Kate Padgitt entered Cambridge School of Dallas as a freshman for the 2007-2008 school year.
- Q: What were you looking for in a high school?
- I wanted to go to a school that was based on Christian beliefs. I also wanted a learning environment that was active; where teachers involved students in learning.
- Q: What do you like best about Cambridge?
- The best thing about Cambridge is the feeling of community. Everyone is involved: students, faculty, families, staff. Even across grades, everyone knows everyone. When we feel connected, it is a comfortable environment.
- Q: Did you have any reservations about Cambridge?
- Because it is a smaller school, I didn’t know if it would provide the high school experience I was looking for. Actually, it is exactly what I wanted. It is easier to learn in smaller classes. Although I knew some kids who also transferred from my other school, it was easy to meet everyone; I’ve made many deep friendships. Also, it is easy to get involved in activities.
- Q: In what activities have you participated?
- In the fall, I was on the crew team and was in the drama production. In the spring, I hope to be in drama and crew again, or maybe golf.
- Q: What surprised you most about Cambridge?
- I didn’t expect the teachers to be so passionate. They really love their subjects and they love to teach. This makes us [the students] excited about learning. They are also very helpful and available to answer questions.
- Q: What would you recommend to someone considering Cambridge?
- I think everyone should definitely come and visit for a day. It is hard to describe how it feels to be a part of Cambridge. You just have to experience it.
