Enriching Our
Signature Programs
We reaffirm our commitment to educating the whole child across intellectual, social, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. We remain steadfast in our belief that this approach will equip our students to thrive at WES and beyond.
Experiential learning has been a defining feature of our program for many years, and we will continue to emphasize and expand it at all levels. We will also thoughtfully and intentionally integrate comprehensive wellness as a core component of our programming.
Our program will prepare students to embrace challenges and work across differences to collaborate with people who see problems and solutions in diverse ways.
WES will create and amplify signature experiential programs that combine academic rigor with real-world applications at every grade level to ensure that WES graduates are equipped to thrive in a complex world.
