Waverly graduates leave with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive in college and beyond. Our graduation requirements exceed the entrance requirements for the University of California, and many students pursue an even more rigorous course of study. Every course is University of California approved, including Honors offerings, ensuring students are well prepared for the college application process and future academic success.

Our dynamic High School curriculum reflects the passions and expertise of our faculty as well as the interests of our students. Each year, teachers develop new electives and interdisciplinary courses that encourage students to explore emerging ideas, deepen their learning, and pursue their individual interests. The result is a challenging, engaging academic program that fosters intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and meaningful connections across disciplines.
