Defining the Waterford Experience

The Waterford School provides every student with a rich and unified educational experience that begins in pre-school and culminates fourteen years later at Commencement.

Over the course of those many years, curiosity, a love of learning, academic abilities, and unique talents are carefully nourished; our students develop into well-educated, well-rounded, and productive young adults who are prepared for college and equipped to lead happy and meaningful lives.

The Waterford experience affects and enhances aspects of a child's life - through every stage of development. Bold, insightful teachers with impeccable credentials teach students to think clearly and critically about themselves and the world around them. Diverse subjects and a rigorous curriculum are integrated into a meaningful tapestry of knowledge. And a broad range of activities and programs - from music, theatre, and dance to international travel and competitive sports - enables students to explore their interests, form lifelong friendships, and develop unique tastes.

At Waterford, these elements combine to create an environment where learning becomes an adventure rather than a chore. Where academic excellence becomes a natural byproduct of a deep passion for learning. And where academics, fine arts, sports, and social development become parts of a unified and meaningful whole.

Welcome from the Head of School, Nancy Heuston
‘Good teachers possess a capacity for connectedness. They are able to weave a complex web of connections among themselves, their subjects, and their students so that students can learn to weave a world for themselves.’ Waterford teachers connect and weave, and their students become scholars and artists, creators and innovators, weavers of the world.
