The Buddy Program

The Buddy Program is a time-honoured Wilson tradition. Each year, students in our pre-k are paired with a fourth grader. For three years or until the older buddy graduates from sixth grade, the buddies get together to read, create artwork, play, or collaborate on a community service project. Wilson buddies meet up once a week and their relationships last a lifetime!

We have three kids at Wilson: one going into first grade, the older ones going into 5th and 6th. I honestly don't know where to begin about how amazing Wilson is. The academics are incredibly strong, the class sizes are small, and the teachers are devoted to the kids. The administration is responsive, flexible, and are always ready to meet with parents to discuss anything. But probably the best thing about Wilson is the sense community, of caring. In all our four years at Wilson, we've always felt we were part of a family that was always looking out for us and our children. Not only the faculty and staff, but the other parents, even the families of former Wilson grads, everyone shares the same sense of caring for one another. It's an incredible community that we're thankful to be a part of.

Wilson has been a wonderful choice for my three children. The curriculum is individualized, challenging, and integrated across subjects. The school's small size allows each individual to be known, is integral in developing self-confidence, and is the foundation for a close, supportive community for both my children and me. Distance learning was an easy and seamless transition and the teachers continued to challenge students in different ways. I am always impressed by the teachers, however, their creativity and quick adjustment to distance learning was impressive. Each one of my children has been well-prepared academically, socially, and emotionally for secondary school's demands.

Our family just completed its third year at The Wilson School. We chose Wilson for its smaller class sizes and its focus on developing a student's self-confidence in tandem with their academic growth. We have been thrilled with our child's emotional growth in the last two years especially. The school motto -- Make Your Mark a Good One -- is very carefully interwoven into the overall curriculum as well as students' day-to-day experiences. We always look forward to what the next year will bring.

Especially in the last four months, with the onset of COVID-19, the thing that my family appreciated the most was the school's focus on keeping the children engaged and connected to each other. The online learning, while challenging for little ones, was well organized and executed in ways that, to us as the parents, seemed....seamless. Our child is equipped with the tools that he needs for this summer to meet the challenges of the upcoming academic year.
