Waynflete does middle school right. They know how to keep kids/teens busy and balanced with an incredible mix of academics, arts, athletics, and other activities. Teachers and faculty all care about the kids who go there, and want to give them a gifted education instead of being lost in the shuffle. Communication is outstanding compared to our other school experience. The best thing about Waynflete—especially for middle schoolers—is the focus on getting kids/teens to have the confidence and ability to manage their own choices and responsibilities. Executive planning is a learned skill, and Waynflete succeeds in teaching kids that for school and it extends to other parts of teen’s lives. It’s been an incredible experience!

Waynflete offered my daughters so much beyond a fabulously rich education. The connections with adults and nurturing of interests and independence has been so valuable and life changing. Waynflete’s relaxed but purposeful approach to the college process is perfect. My daughters were accepted to their first choice schools early decision/action. The College Counseling staff and structure are warm and flexible and enjoyable…and successful!
I have several children who all attend Waynflete. Each child is very different with unique strengths and challenges. Waynflete meets all of their needs beautifully. Because it is a small, warm, loving community, my children are so well understood by their teachers. Each child's education is customized. As a result, they are learning at remarkable rates. They are actively engaged at all levels- intellectual, emotional and physical. Most important to me, however, is that they are all HAPPY! They feel loved and cared for by both the adults and their peers. I am an educator and I have worked in many schools. I can honestly say that Waynflete is one of the most exceptional institutions that I have ever experienced.
