As a teacher at a public high school and parent of a student at Wardlaw High School, I must say the education that they get at WH is far better than any other school in the Middlesex County. The faculty is very dedicated and the teachers work hard to give the students a top notch education. There athletic director is the best I have ever met. And I have coached in public schools. She hires first class coaches and does not give in to complaing parents that try to manipulate the athletic program just because they pay to send their kid to private school. If you send your kid to the US they will end up going to and graduating from a great college. The investment is worth it.
As an upper school parent I feel like the level of caring from the faculty has dropped a little from what we experienced in Wardlaw-Hartridge's middle school. However, I still feel this school provides an excellent academic environment for our son. I wish the athletic program was more of a priority. The teams struggle and the Athletic Director is very weak.
I think the Wardlaw-Hartridge School is an excellent choice for education. Because of it's size, a student can't be 'invisible' or 'lost' in the system. This has impressed me very much--the level of attention that every student receives is extensive. The students are challenged academically and well prepared to move to the next grade when the time comes. I have spoken with students who have graduated and they say they were very well prepared for college. The students work hard. The music, art and athletic programs are excellent. The community is fantastic and very supportive of the students. I am very happy we made this choice for our child!!
This is our fourth year at Wardlaw-Hartridge. Our two children are in the lower school and are extremely happy. I cannot possibly say enough good things about the school and the truly dedicated, nurturing teachers we have come to know and love. The small environment fosters personal attention to each child, who grows not only academically but socially as well. The families are some of the most wonderful people I have ever met, and the bonds our children have formed with their friends are heartwarming. I cherish these years as our children become confident, independent, educated, well-rounded individuals with a strong sense of integrity and awareness of others. WH meets all of our children's needs and has exceeded our expectations of a private independent school. Our children never want to leave!
