Parish Episcopal School

Withers is a great neighborhood school with awesome options for dual language and gen ed (we are in dual but have lots of friends in gen ed and very happy!) There is a ton of parental involvement and lots of opportunities to be involved.

Me encanta esta escuela, los maestros muy profesionales siempre

Great school! Highly recommend. The teachers really care.

La peor escuela de Estados Unidos, la subdirectora es una racista, no tiene educación ninguna, prácticamente me secuestraron a mi hijo.

Our son is a "Lifer" with Westwood. He started in Kindergarten and is now in High School. We have experienced sports, grade level plays, Middle School, Covid, and Post Covid in an academic environment. All through the process, we have met great parents, amazing parent mentors (who teach you the ropes), and Faculty who learns how to teach your child. Your child will learn to read and write in any school, however, it is through the support of Faculty and the community you join, you will see your child in a comfortable environment to grow and mature.

This marvelous place! These kind, patient, hardworking people! This loving, trusting, supportive, non-judgmental community! Vanguard has been an absolute dream for my family. The preschool and pre-K years were a struggle for my daughter at schools that were not set up for kiddos whose brains work differently. We worried that a school where she could be supported, listened to, and loved for who she is did not exist... until we found Vanguard. From the moment she stepped on the campus to visit, my daughter has felt at home. Her classes are small and taught by excellent professionals who lead with love and kindness at every turn. She receives individual attention when she needs it, as well as valuable, daily feedback that has helped her with her behavioral challenges, building friendships, and creating a solid academic background for the future. She and her peers learn how to love and accept themselves and their peers for who they are, even as they work to meet their daily challenges. In addition, the school encourages continual communication with families. If a problem crops up, we hear about it immediately from her teacher and we work together to figure out a solution. Parents are also encouraged to escalate concerns to school administration ASAP so that solutions can be collaboratively constructed. But at the core of everything, we have seen results: it's no longer a struggle to convince our daughter to go to school, she loves her teachers and her peers, she takes pride in her schoolwork, and her confidence has grown with each passing year. We absolutely love Vanguard and the innovative, loving, and dedicated people who work here.
