My children have been with WHS from the infant program through early academic ( Upper and Lower elementary currently). In WHS we have found a supportive environment for students who may have slightly different learning styles than allowed for in public school settings and a great community of supportive parents, faculty, and staff. The teachers and staff really care about learning, and with the smaller class sizes, get to interact closely with students to provide opportunities for social interaction, creative expression, and academic growth.

Our son has attended WHS since kindergarten/Children's House and for going on 5 years now. The warm environment, ability to instruct children as individuals (small class ratios), Montessori curriculum, and community amongst the grades are all stellar reasons to choose WHS. A review cannot capture the feeling of comfort and safety when you know your child is known and cared for, just as they are. We are so happy to be Dragons!

My child is in her third year at Welsh Hills. It has been a great experience! It's a small school with small class sizes, which really leads to a community feel among the families, staff and children.I appreciate that WHS staff encourages independence and self-governance, while at the same time being nurturing and helpful. The teachers are wonderful and the academics are presented in fun and interesting ways. I love that the various ages can mix and learn from each other. There are a lot of unique opportunities at WHS that you just can't get at a larger school.We are also very happy with the "specials" classes- wonderful art, music, library, fitness, nature/farm and robotics classes with great teachers.

Hands-on learning with caring teachers and a unique STEAM curriculum. The unique environment at Welsh Hills provides students the freedom to learn as they go, in their own way, on real-world lessons. I know that this philosophy provides students of all ages the opportunity to discover their talents and pursue their passions in a supportive community. I am grateful for my WHS education.

We''ve had our children at Welsh Hills School for over six years, and we are very pleased with the quality of education that they are receiving. The class sizes are small, which allows very individualized attention. The children collaborate with the teacher to learn, they''re not taught at. There is a strong emphasis on self-learning. The environment is warm and nurturing, like home. There is a strong culture of respecting others. There is deliberate interaction among the grade levels. We are fortunate to have several great schools available for the education of our children, public and private, but the best choice for us is Welsh Hills School, without question.
