I’m currently a first year student at NYSH. After having studying homeopathy previously, I can only state that, thus far, the experience with Susan has been a tremendous one. It is rare to find a teacher who is not only engaging, but enthusiastically (and generously) shares her years of experiential and theoretical knowledge (wisdom, really) with her students. It's an honor to be in this program and I look forward to the day that I will able to confidently apply this learning professionally.

I am grateful to have the opportunity to study in New York School of Homeopathy. It's hard to understand previous negative review about the school's curriculum and teaching method. I just completed the first year and truthfully, there is not a single dull moment. Having a busy work schedule and two young kids at home, weekends normally feel "sluggish" for me but not in Susan's classroom! Being a homeopath herself, Susan brings years of clinic experience into classroom that melds perfectly with learning of Organon, repertory and materia medica. As overwhelming as each of those subjects could be, Susan is able to present the important concepts, ie big idea of the remedies, key symptoms along with cases, stories to ensure maximum absorption. Nonetheless, studying outside the classroom is imperative for a rewarding learning experience. I look forward to future years of studying with Susan in NYSH!

I have graduated from NYSH in June 2013 and am now building my own practice as a homeopath. After carefully evaluating various programs, I decided to join the New York School of Homeopathy back in 2009. My decision was strongly influenced by the school’s progressive curriculum - a solid foundation in classical homeopathy (what the old masters knew), along with new methods of case-taking and understanding remedies. Susan Sonz, our principal teacher and school director, is an inspiring, motivating and wonderful mentor. Her openness to the ways in which homeopathy continues to grow helps us become better practitioners. I have been studying different tools that help me take a case and find a good remedy by always aiming for the “simillimum”. More and more every day, I see and feel my dream of helping people, especially those with chronic diseases, become true.

I graduated from NYSH in 2009 and I am now studying for certification. The New York School of Homeopathy is a most thorough, excellent and inspiring school. It is not only professional in its approach, it has the highest standard of teachers from around the world and gives a non biased and comprehensive curriculum which enables one to really take cases with the dexterity and flexibility needed when treating everybody as the true individuals they are. Having grown up in England and been a resident of Holland I have had much experience with homeopathy and homeopaths and I found that the NYSH contains the optimal balance of teaching a solid foundation whilst keeping students up to date with a worldwide platform of world class homeopaths and varying styles of case taking. I would highly recommend this school.

I would not recommend this school for the study of homeopathy. This school does not prepare students in a well rounded curriculum of homeopathic education. The Organon, Acutes and Homeopathic Philosophy are not a significant part the curriculum outside of the first year. The repertory is not taught in a significant way in any year and there is only one scheduled weekend of study for Acutes in the 4 year curriculum (also in 1st year). The school leaves students to study Acutes, Repertory, Philosophy & the Organon on their own without providing clear guidance on what should be learned in this self study.
The school spends 90% of its time on experimental case taking methods which are unclear in their application and dubious in their results. The school is focused on the director Susan Sonz's version of case taking which can change from year to year. There is no professional development or guidance on how to become a homeopath or to run a business as a homeopath. Most graduates of this school do not go on to become homeopaths as they are not prepared to pass the CCH exam or to perform the basic functions of a homeopath.
