There are not a whole lot of celebratory type events like that at Page, but the learning environment is supportive and my child has been happy there.


Is it as diverse as New Haven CT?

I attended WT Page in the early 80s and loved it. Hi, old neighbor.

My DD is a current 5th grader in Spanish Immersion and has had a fantastic experience.

Why do you think that?

Sorry to hear this. We’ve had the opposite experience with Principal Brown and admin staff during DC’s past few years there—they have been very responsive. We have also felt that the admin is supportive of both the English Academy and immersion programs, and the PTA is strong.

While I haven't had any children attend that school I used to work with the principal and she is FANTASTIC! Truly one in a million!
