“I chose WES for my child because WES is not pretentious and is truly culturally aware. I feel that my child will receive an excellent education without having to worry that the experience might cause her to diminish her character or her beliefs.”

— Jacqueline, Randle, Grade 1 Parent

“Although WES does not label itself an international school, it truly is. Nearly half the students in my daughter’s class are bilingual and the daily curriculum incorporates a global perspective. My child truly understands the larger world.”

— Andrea Stumpf, Grade 8 Parent

“Every August my children enthusiastically head back to school.”

— Vicki Panchal, Pre-K & Grade 3 Parent
