[quote=Anonymous]Our child attended for middle school and it was exactly what they needed. I think the school does a good job catering to a child's specific needs -  whether they are more advanced, average, or need extra support.  Teachers are very supportive and reach out to parents if a kid is struggling to get them back on track and they motivate them/keep them engaged when they are excelling.   Loved that it's not a pressure cooker- more of a learn for the sake of knowledge. That approach allowed my kid to really excel and enjoy their classes. They loved science, social studies, math, language and even enjoy English (which was their least favorite subject prior to WES. My kid enjoyed reading and performing Shakespeare in eighth grade!) The school taught my kid to be a self advocate. The study trips in 6th, 7th, and 8th are amazing! My kid was a "never sleep anywhere but home kid" so we were worried how the first overnight trip would go. They came back from Utah with such confidence. Then Italy in 7th and Spain/France in 8th (depending on language choice.) These trips really allow the kids to bond and develop a sense of independence. WES offered so much help during the HS admission process. It was a pain to have to apply somewhere new again, but they had grown so much from 6th to 8th grade, it allowed us to find the right HS fit. We would have made a very different decision if we had applied to a k-12 for 6th vs applying for 9th.  [/quote]
