[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As parents of three children at WWS—one graduate (Class of 2023), a sophomore, and a 6th grader—we've had a wonderful experience.

Here are some highlights of what WWS offers:

Academic Rigor & College Prep Without Excess Stress

Balanced Academic Challenge: WWS emphasizes deep understanding over rote memorization. Courses are equivalent to AP-level content but without the high-pressure environment of traditional prep schools. My daughter and son did, or are doing the advanced math track. A recent graduate is now at MIT doing engineering grad work. You don’t need to worry about math at WWS.

College-Ready Graduates: WWS students perform well on SAT/ACT exams and are accepted to top colleges like Duke, Michigan, Notre Dame, UVA, William & Mary, NAVY, NYU, UMD, Haverford, West Point, Barnard, Kenyon, Oberlin, Scripps, and more. The proof is in the pudding in this respect.

Gap Year Friendly: Many students take a gap year, like our daughter who spent a year in Argentina.

Excellent Financial Aid & Scholarships

Variable Tuition Model: WWS assesses each family's financial situation to set tuition, promoting socioeconomic diversity.
Ample Scholarship Opportunities: Financial aid has been a positive experience for us, making WWS more accessible.

Healthy & Balanced Athletics

Inclusive Sports: WWS students enjoy a realistic, fun approach to sports and can play multiple sports while specializing in club-level teams outside of school.

Competitive Teams: WWS competes in the Potomac Valley Athletic Conference (PVAC) and has won championships in sports like HS Baseball and Soccer.

In sports, WWS has always “done a lot with a little,” competing against, and often winning against much larger schools.

Excellence in the Arts

Commitment to Arts Education: Students engage in painting, woodworking, weaving, music, and drama. High school students participate in an annual musical, and middle schoolers perform in a student math.

Recognition in the Arts: WWS students have been honored at competitions like the Annual Juried Friends of the Yellow Barn Studio High School Exhibition.

Thoughtful Technology Integration

Balanced Use: WWS introduces technology in middle and high school in a mindful way, avoiding screen time as a replacement for human interaction. Cell phones are securely stored and not used during the school day.

A Meaningful Senior Year

Senior Projects: WWS seniors complete capstone projects, such as research essays and artistic presentations, encouraging independence and creativity. Our daughter’s project involved producing a short film, which she scripted, scored, and acted in.

Lastly, WWS is a deeply caring place. It’s a community where staff, students and families know and look out for each other. It’s not perfect, but has been ideal for our family.[/quote]
