I transferred to this school from a highly rigorous and much more populated school, and I was not disappointed! This school really is teaching its students to be environmentally conscientious, and be sustainable. The staff is kind and well-attuned to their students. Self-expression is encouraged and everyone is not afraid to be themselves. We are being educated on REAL-WORLD issues that other general curriculums will skim over. This school offers advanced placement, CLEP courses, and career training for its high schoolers. Highly recommend for other burnt-out students needing a wake up call!
I have been going to WMAES since the 4th grade. I couldn’t see myself going to any other school, and there are so many things about it that i enjoy. This school is as close to a second family as anyone could get. The teachers and students have bonds like no other. Everybody knows everybody, and it’s an all around great experience. The 72 Acres with so many different ecosystems including a pond, meadow, prairie, and forest, make for the best learning environment in all aspects. The teachers at WMAES are so creative in tying in the outdoors into a learning experience. I love my school and am going to miss it so much when i graduate next year!
WMAES is a wonderful school environment both for students and staff alike. It's set on a beautiful campus where teachers incorporate the natural environment into the learning. The collaboration amongst staff is always aimed at the goal of making the best decisions for the student community and their growth. The leadership and vision of the school will continue to make this a great school both now and in the future.
