Wardlaw is a wonderful caring place and the people are very helpful. I was at another school for 8 years. My parents tried to get extra help for me since I have ADD/ADHD . No one helped me or did the things the doctors suggested. Finally I changed schools, they instantly had extra help for me. I had a tutor for each class and was given private time for testing. I was encouraged to take college prep classes and I know if they had not been so caring I would probably not be going to college now. I would like to add a special thank you to all the teachers that made it possible.

Our family loves Wardlaw! The small classes and fun learning atmosphere is a favorite of my daughter's. My husband and I love that she is being challenged and has a good time learning. Wardlaw feels like home. We felt like family from day one.

My children have attended Wardlaw since they were in kindergarten. They are now high school and middle school. I could not think of a better place for my children to attend. This is a school founded on christian values, led by caring teachers and administrators, and people who feel like family. This...

Very unprofessional. The worst mistake I've ever made. It was not a good experience. When you allow one person TOTAL control, well then the lack of respect is bound to happen. Just read the hand book...is there underlining intimidation? I wonder but I'll have to think more on it.

My kids have attended Wardlaw for 3 yrs. In that 3 yrs my kids have made good grades and great friends. It's a wonderful school and has an awesome athletic department. Most of the teachers went to school their themselves. I really liked that about the school. It's small so everyone knows everybody....
