[quote=Anonymous]We've had one child graduate from WES and one currently in middle school; both excellent experiences. I can't say enough good things about the middle school. The teachers are devoted and caring, while also holding the students to high standards. My current child's cohort is a good group of kids who look out for each other. Middle school is hard no matter where you are (hormones! changing bodies! changing brains!), but this school has really thought about the pedagogy alongside the social development that will be most beneficial for this age group. The field trips and trips abroad build up independence and confidence together. We're in the midst of go-round #2 with HS advising, which is excellent. Summer meetings happen with the head of the whole school and the head of the middle school to talk together with the parent(s) about their child and what might be a good fit. I think everyone in my first child's cohort ended up in a good place that has been a good fit, and we've gotten good advice for current kid, who is a very different student than the older one. Support comes from the administration and the staff at each step, and they are organized and absolutely on top of the process. [/quote]
