Description

Welcome to Waterford School.

Waterford School provides liberal arts, college preparatory education for students in preschool through twelfth grade. The school instills the qualities of independent thought, responsibility and service as it helps students lay a solid foundation for college and prepares them to lead purposeful and honorable lives. The benefits of a Waterford education are found in the richness of its curriculum, the quality of its teachers, and the commitment of its students.

The Waterford School reflects the grandeur of its dramatic setting. The school's tradition is liberal arts. The focus is on each student learning. Here, expectations are high, the curriculum rich and the scholarship engaging and renewing.

Whether in Class II or Class X, the students share the essence of The Waterford School—learning for the sake of learning. The experience is centered in the classroom. Waterford begins there, as does each student's day. Lower Schools, Middle School and Upper School, from Nursery to Class XII, start at eight a.m. and dismiss after three. What some see as extras in a school schedule are at Waterford not extras at all. The courses stretch the liberal and fine arts emphasis from math to biology, wheel thrown pottery to Latin, violin to lacrosse and soccer, and English composition to computer programming.

Classes are small; homework is essential. A student's age is measured not so much by height as by the size of the bookbag or backpack. Academic research constantly expands the Waterford model; rigor is the standard measure. In-class essays and writing assignments, discussions, debates, the classics, field study and lab journals, concerts, class assemblies, history time-lines, web pages and state athletic championships speak of a pace that embraces so much and so many.

Amid the focus and the reaching, trying and then trying again are recognized standards that speak of respect for one another, courtesy, cooperation, self-discipline and effort. The Waterford School represents a wholeness that esteems passion for a discipline, that finds nobility in working hard over time, and that recognizes with learning comes the responsibility to live truthfully, to live purposefully. To live, always learning.
