"When I first started at de Toledo, I didn’t know a single person and was really worried about fitting in. That’s why being part of the Peer Mentor Program – where as a freshman I was paired up with a senior – was so great for me. I immediately had a friend and a mentor." -
Carly K. ('25)
"At de Toledo, there’s so much emphasis on making a difference in our local communities. For me, that meant starting a club called “Hearts for Humanity,” where we make lunches and provide clothes for those in need." -
Jake S. ('24)

Jessie L. ('24)
"One of the most impactful opportunities I’ve had at de Toledo is being part of the Medical Science Academy. All the research and experiments on the brain I’ve done in the program are definitely driving me in the direction of studying neuroscience when I get to college." -
