This School’s Reviews

5.0 Senior

2/5/2023

Watershed School is based entirely upon the community. The teacher-student bond is stronger than any school I have previously attended; students can pretty much refer to their teachers as their friends. The school is also heavily based upon work that matters, so classes are built around not doing busy work, but doing work that matters.

I really love my school, my teachers are amazing. My classes are really great and engaging and I love being able to travel as much as I do. We travel outside of the country once a year, I've been to Peru, Guatemala and will be going to China later this year. We also travel locally and out of state in our regular classes. We have one three hour class every day that combines the disciplines of science and humanities.

In contrast, our kids say that Watershed’s progressive, project-based teaching approach feels meaningful, challenging, and supportive....
