A letter from a parent...

“I send my child to Westbury Friends School because…

...Westbury Friends School - the whole experience - from the Head of School to all of the staff, teachers and the children is an incredible, on-going educational journey that is full of joy, learning and excitement. Each person involved is happy, peaceful and striving for excellence. I believe it is the best possible environment for our precious children. My son loves to go to school and is learning everyday. We are all very pleased with his progress and with our decision to enroll him at Westbury Friends.

... WFS is a wholesome community, dedicated to empowering, enriching and educating our children in a meaningful way without a "heavy hand".  My child has learned through peaceful negotiations with classmates the use of "strategy " to come to conclusions."

...the academic program at Westbury is highly creative and innovative. Children are encouraged to reach their highest potential, not by high pressure standardized tests, but by inquiry based classroom teaching which builds on each child's creativity and natural curiosity in the world around them.  A sense of shared community, respect for the creation, and the cherishing of children flourish at Westbury Friends."

...I have finally been able to witness my child flourish and find happiness in a school environment.  Westbury Friends has truly lived up to the mission of "instilling a love of learning".  Over the past two years that [my son] has been at WFS, this premise has been more than evident."

...Westbury Friends School embodies the essence of diversity and integrity."

...Westbury Friends gives to everyone, both students and parents, a sense of community, a sense of purpose, a feeling of belonging."

...The program is one of a kind from the school leadership to the staff to the atmosphere that my son was surrounded with everyday. Our family looks forward to next year and the even more wondrous experiences our child will have at the school."

...of the Quaker values espoused by the teachers and staff. By values, I mean respect for others, responsibility, peaceful conflict resolution, seeing the "light" or the humanity in every person. Westbury Friends School has made ME a better parent and US to be a more respectful and harmonious family."
