McKinley School

Waverly provides a wonderful and supportive environment for learning. It truly is "progressive" education. As kids mature though each grade, they return to subject matter, delving more deeply into each topic to facilitate a depth of understanding and a life long love for learning. The school itself is wonderfully diverse (in all ways!) and respectful. The Head of School is inspiring, compassionate and committed, and his leadership has had a profoundly positive impact on the students, teachers and Waverly's wider community. The Farm is a fantastic part of the school, giving kids an amazing and vital greenspace in which to learn and play. The teachers and staff share a passion for the school and its approach to education and this is evident in everything from the ways they come to truly "know" each student to the detailed narrative reports created each semester. We love Waverly and our kids are very happy at the school.

Our two children graduated from St. Philip. We love this school. The school emphasizes kindness, respect for others, the Catholic faith, and academics (and has great sports and drama programs). Our kids got a great educational foundation that landed them in highly ranked universities. But even more important: St. Philip helped them become kind people with good values. My husband and I feel that sending our kids to St. Philip was the best parenting decision we ever made.

I have been going to Yattiyr, for a while. Yattiyr has changed how I see the world. I would highly reccommend anyone to Yattiyr. No principal or coach cares as much as Yattiyr's do. They are servants of God, and it is widely shown. Yattiyr has developed me as a student and as a person.
