    • Academic Program Teacher with Students

Welcome to The Waverly School!

 
  • Are actively involved in their education
  • Become respon­si­ble for their growth as students
  • Are encour­aged to work to their highest level
  • Base learn­ing on life experiences
Our preschool, elemen­tary, middle, and high school programs are designed to respect and support chil­dren indi­vid­u­ally as they journey through the stages of learn­ing and to incor­po­rate all aspects of human devel­op­ment – social, phys­i­cal, aesthetic, and ethical. 

In preschool, the focus is on foster­ing children’s curios­ity, imag­i­na­tion, creativ­ity, and love of learn­ing primar­ily through play.

Each teach­ing team in the elemen­tary school devel­ops a social studies theme for the school year that incor­po­rates language arts, math, science, the arts, and commu­nity service.

The middle school program is designed to meet students’ needs for social and emotional support while strength­en­ing their acad­e­mic skills.

High school offers a tightly knit commu­nity and a chal­leng­ing and engaging college-preparatory program.

Every day, Waverly teachers create experiences that challenge students to ponder, to experiment, and to problem-solve.

  • Diver­sity, Equity, and Inclusion

    At The Waverly School, we believe that mean­ing­ful learn­ing happens in diverse, inclu­sive commu­ni­ties where every student feels a sense of belong­ing. Rooted in our commit­ment to equity and social justice, we actively engage students in under­stand­ing iden­tity, chal­leng­ing bias, and build­ing a more just world. Our class­rooms reflect and honor multi­ple perspec­tives, helping students grow as empa­thetic, informed, and engaged members of society. Learn more here.
  • Non-Discrim­i­­na­­tion Policy

    Waverly fosters an envi­ron­ment in which indi­vid­ual differ­ences of race, ethnic­ity, biolog­i­cal sex, gender iden­tity, sexual orien­ta­tion, socioe­co­nomic circum­stance, national origin, immi­gra­tion status, ability and disabil­ity, phys­i­cal char­ac­ter­is­tics, reli­gious belief, and all aspects of iden­tity are acknowl­edged and celebrated.
