The best parts of my experience at BTW is meeting new people and making new friends with multiple different types of people. I've also enjoyed the multiple friendships I've made through sports. I've learned how to make my creative skills visible and influence others.

My daughter attended BTW for 4 years and it was an exceptional experience. The leadership is outstanding and the teachers are as well. The student's talent is almost unbelievable.
