[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Current WES parent—I have two children there and do not feel like the resources or programs are limited in anyway whatsoever. The closest “limitation” I could come up with is a lack of a cafeteria (they use the smaller Aux gym for lunch).

And to PP who said they wouldn’t choose WES for the trips, the trips are about more than just going somewhere. The growth that happens on an experience like that is huge and it’s a central part of their curriculum. [/quote]

I have one grad and one student at WES and strongly agree with this. First, no idea what someone could mean that resources are constrained, we’ve never felt that at all in terms of programs or facilities or anything.

I also really agree about the trips. My oldest cites the Utah trip as a defining moment in middle school for him. He’d never done sleep away camp or anything, so it was his first time away from home and he really bonded with his classmates. Obviously there are chaperones, but going away like that, and twice overseas, gave him the knowledge and confidence that he can do things on his own. He also got to know his teachers, and they got to know him, in a much different way. The trips are pretty amazing. [/quote]
