Ward Elementary School

This school is perfect if you have a cookie cutter child. Unfortunately my daughter has both medical and mental problems and this school was too busy enforcing a no candy policy to help her. Some of the teachers are amazing but the principal and a few other support staff members made my daughters 2 years in this school a nightmare. I have thankfully moved her and are dealing with that situation privately with BPS but please just pay attention if you see something off it’s because it is.

We are thrilled with our son's experience at Wellan so far. He started when he was just 15 months old, and the positive changes we've seen in the past year have been truly remarkable. The growth in his vocabulary and communication skills has been exponential and in multiple languages, and he's built tremendously on his genuine love for books and reading. What has impressed us most is his blossoming independence and maturity. The nurturing and stimulating environment has helped him become a more confident and capable little person.Beyond the individual growth, what makes Wellan truly special is its vibrant and inclusive community. The school actively celebrates diversity, and we love how different cultures are woven into the classroom experience. Through various festivals and activities, parents are encouraged to get involved and share their family's traditions, creating a rich, respectful, and welcoming environment for the children to learn about the world around them.The support for families is also outstanding. Wellan offers insightful parent workshops that have been incredibly helpful, providing us with valuable tools and knowledge that extend the learning principles into our home. This focus on partnership truly strengthens the community and makes us feel like a team in our child's education.We wholeheartedly recommend Wellan to any family looking for not just an excellent education for their child, but also a warm, diverse, and supportive community to be a part of.

Saint Columbkille is a wonderful community to be a part of. The teachers are excellent. Parents are supportive and committed to their children.
