My daughter is entering her junior year. I have been very happy with the academic and social environment. While WPS is a Benedictine school, non-Christian families should feel very welcomed here (which isn't always true at the other Catholic high schools.) I have been very pleased with the intellectual content of the theological instruction. There is a good level of support for children with learning disabilities, and each child is challenged. Also I feel that the stress on values is important in the contemporary climate. I can't speak to athletics as my daughter doesn't compete in school. The arts and music opportunities are great.

This is a great school, which we plan to apply to. We know many Alumni and they attended colleges such as Harvard, Stanford, USC, Yale, and many more top schools.

Wonderful serene college prep school in the Benedictine traditon. Extensive AP offerings and as many national merit scholars as the largest private schools in the area. Small class sizes with teachers and staff that truly care about the students and their personal and academic development. When kids today are facing so many pressures, it is nice to know that they are attending a school with a nuturing safe environment, an overriding tradition of caring, and a very active parent community.
