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!
I have attended WMAES for most of my school years and it was been a wonderful experience! The teachers and staff work to push students to reach their full potentials and to never give up. The staff members also care for their students and how they are doing and since it is a small school they truly know their students. Many fun memories can be created here and can hold a special place in your heart. Some of the courses may be challenging but it is only to prepare students for college.
