Invest in Your Child’s Future
Independent school education isn’t always the obvious choice, especially given the cost. We ask families to consider these questions when exploring school options: “What do I want from my child’s school experience?” “What does my child need from his or her teachers and school community?” “What is the goal of my child’s education?” For many, the answers underscore the lasting value of Willow, where learning is joyous and always productive, virtues are the guiding force for the entire school community, and the goal is to graduate students who can successfully navigate and lead in an increasingly complex world. Exploring School Options: Private vs. Public by Head of School Francisco Ayala offers seven highlights of independent school education that can reap lifelong benefits for your child.
