Very close knit community. Just like any other school however, there are pros and cons to attending Wellington. If you're looking for a high school experience primarily with exciting sporting events with large crowds Wellington may not be for you. But if you're looking for a well-rounded high school experience filled with unconventional high school classes, research opportunities, connections with fantastic alumni and mentors, and fun clubs and student organizations, and lots of school pride, Wellington is the perfect place for you. For an independent school, Wellington has great diversity in terms of ethnic diversity, political views , athletic interests, and performing and visual arts students.
Wellington has been amazing for me since my time began there in freshman year. The students are a family that supports and lifts each other up. The academics and teachers are top-notch and Wellington has a truly diverse curriculum that could be found nowhere else. Wellington is a state-of-the-art institution with successful alumni and truly a privilege to attend for high school. The only unfortunate experience for me was with the finances and the administration involved with tuition. My family is lower middle class and going to Wellington obviously put a strain on finances despite my scholarships. One day, my tuition was late, and Wellington asked me to leave for day, causing extreme embarrassment when my friends asked why my mom had showed up to pick me up in the middle of the school day. If anything at Wellington changed, it should be the level of understanding and compassion that administration has for families of small means.
We love Wellington. Our three kids thrive in the supportive environment which allows students to take risks and stretch their notion of what's possible. The differentiated nature of the curriculum meets the needs of each child. Our son can receive extra help in math, yet extension spelling words. And thanks to inclusive athletics, our oldest daughter discovered she has an affinity for softball and tennis - two sports she never would have tried elsewhere. Go Jags!
