The Williams School

The school promotes the best attributes your child. It gives them real opportunity to experience a variety of interests. They provide support when they struggle. The culture and expectations help them mature and gain confidence. The education portion is challenging and prepares them well for college. More importantly they create an environment encouraging good citizenship and concern for others. It has been a haven for my child. Lastly, it`s worth it. I am fortunate to have family assist with tuition. Even without it, I would make sacrifices to send my child to the Williams School. They are unique. No words can truly describe how they have impacted my son and his future.

Williams is a great school. I agree with the other poster that the odd stat on the acceptance rate is probably due to the big shift in size a couple of years ago. I know under-performing students who have been asked to leave so there are high academic standards. My child has been at Williams for 3 years and is thriving and heading for a great future. The best part, in my view, is the small size and attentiveness of the teachers. For an expensive private school, this place is not loaded with stuck up families, as were many of the other schools we considered. This fact was important to our family. We also like how much the community celebrates the successes of the students as individuals, including successes outside of school.

My child has only good things to say about this nurturing environment. Changes in the past couple of years have brought changes to the administrative structure and balance of power, yielding illogical student policies. With a lot of attrition, there are many new teachers and it will take time to weed out the bad apples, but they will do it. There is a lot of homework, which is a double-edged sword. College will seam easy, I have been told by other parents. The Head of School and Assistant Head of school are both wonderful, normal people.

This school is an academic model for all local schools. The students are challenged, assisted and cherished by the staff and administration. My child enjoys every aspect of this school. If you can make the sacrifice to send your child to Williams, do not hesitate. It is well worth it.

I will never stop thanking my parents for sending me to Williams. It is an incredibly accepting environment, and the teachers honestly want to see their students succeed. The Williams School is not easy academically, but it has prepared me for college in every way possible.
