[quote=Anonymous]I am the parent of a current WES second grader and I love WES.  It is a great group of kids and the other parents are a super nice, down to earth group of folks.  I predict that you will see very few kids applying out.  The new head, Kirk Duncan, seems very committed.  He is making a huge effort to get to know ALL of the kids by name from the youngest to the oldest.

Both the math and reading programs are fabulous.  The 3 classes of 12 are divided in a very low key way into 4 reading and 3 math groups by ability.  Kids can move within the groups throughout the year.  I am very happy with all the elements in the curriculum including Science, Social Studies, Art, Music, Library, PE, Technology, Religion, Foreign Language, etc. which usually meet multiple times a week!  The school has much diversity in both religion, nationality, and race.  Religion is episcopal based, but is taught from the perspective of virtues and morals so it is applicable to people of all faiths.  One of the things that drew us to WES was the genuine kindness of the kids.  WES truly lives out its motto of being kind.

The school also puts an emphasis on creating a studious program that doesn't burn out the kids.  They want kids to be kids.  Finally, WES has fabulous study trips to Utah, Italy, and either France or Spain (depending on language taken by the student) in later grades which are nationally unique and specific to WES.  I could go on, but I'll leave it here and just offer to check back to answer any questions. [/quote]
