I am so fortu­nate to be part of this commu­nity for over 15 years. I have witnessed my own chil­dren and many, many more form lasting rela­tion­ships during their time at Waverly. As a parent and through my work with the many indi­vid­u­als who make up our commu­nity, I have found some common char­ac­ter­is­tics. I am often asked what kind of student does well at Waverly. Waverly attracts students and fami­lies who value:

• Intel­lec­tual curiosity
• Being part of a commu­nity where they are known to everyone
• Being some­where where their pres­ence makes a difference
• Student-teacher conver­sa­tions that are open, chal­leng­ing, and playful
  
• Becom­ing the best version of themselves
• Trying some­thing new, start­ing a club, trying a sport, or helping orga­nize a community event
• Growing as an indi­vid­ual, as well as an intellectual
• Being part of a thought­ful, evolv­ing, and eclectic community

Whether you are looking at preschool, elemen­tary, middle, or high school, finding the right educa­tional commu­nity can be an over­whelm­ing process. My goal is to assist you in getting to know Waverly and working with you to deter­mine if Waverly is the right fit for your family.

I look forward to connect­ing with you!
