The Waterford School Reviews
The campus is like nothing I have ever seen. Not only is it like a college's, it is BEAUTIFUL! Waterford offers amazing activities too. They have soccer, basketball, and volleyball, cross country, and my personal favorite, they have something called outdoor. Being so close to big and little cottonwood canyon, you can rock climb, ski, snow shoe, sled, hike and more. Waterford offers so many varieties of sports and activities for students to participate in.
Also, Waterford has an amazing academic program. Students have not only their core subjects, but they can take musical classes like chorus or for an instrument. They also offer a variety of arts like clay, photo and drawing.
Here at Waterford, the teachers and students care. Teachers care for students safety and success. Students care to do well in classes.
Overall, Waterford has much to offer to the student and their parent
