Wilmington Friends School is an incredibly welcoming environment that prides itself on its community and value for the individual. The school truly is an incredible place to cultivate the delicate and ever-learning adolescent mind. Teachers are always willing and able to assist those in need, which really speaks to the administration's ability to pick the perfect people for the jobs they fill. As a senior, I have fully enjoyed my tenure here and would recommend this school to anyone!
Friends is a really great school as long as you're able to put up with a disappointing administration. The academics are amazing, with about 90% of the teachers being very knowledgeable and advocates for their students' success. The athletics are fun and exciting with many teams going far into state tournaments (although girls sports teams get way less funding and attention, despite being just as talented). The people are almost all very kind, caring, and empathetic people who try to incorporate philanthropy into all corners of the school. Yet, rules are disproportionately enforced on girls and minorities. The only offense taken seriously is academic dishonesty (not drugs, alcohol, misconduct). The administration doesn't listen to parents' or students' concerns, even when evidence of malpractice amongst teachers is blatantly obvious. The administration definitely picks favorites, who all fit a very similar description. Overall, the school is fantastic except for the administration.
I attended Wilmington Friends School in 2013, starting middle school there. I visited in 5th grade and throughout the day, the students treated me like one of them and I loved it. From the small class rooms, computers and 1:1 with the teachers, I couldn't wait to complete middle school and high school at Friends. The school follows Quakerism so every Wednesday, in middle school, we would sit in silence for 45 minutes know as Meeting For Worship(MFW). In high school, I would have Meeting For Worship on Thursdays. My experience as WFS is a blessing with MFW, small class room sizes and IB courses. MFW allowed me to slow down in life and really think about my purpose and how I connect with my peers. My small class room sizes allowed me to connect with my peers and teachers. I can call my teacher my friends and trust them. WFS offers many IB courses and the full diplomacy. I had the privilege to take IB; History, English and Biology. I plan to enroll my kids at Wilmington Friends School.
