Waterford was a wonderful experience for our son. He joined in Grade IX when we moved to Utah. The school was very welcoming from the start as the teachers / administrators helped him "find his tribe". The liberal arts education exceeded my expectations - he graduates next week with a strong foundation of STEM and Liberal Arts. Waterford doesn't teach the students "what to think"....it teaches them "how to think". In the fall he is heading to a top 10 university (his top choice) where he will again follow a STEM and Liberal Arts path of learning. No doubt the education he received at Waterford coupled with his hard work made that possible. I would encourage any family who has a student who loves learning to attend Waterford.

Our daughter is PreK student at Waterford. The faculty at Waterford is highly skilled and experienced. They engage children positively and there's strong focus on social interaction and development. All students are encouraged to share their experiences with others which has greatly helped in building confidence. As part of curriculum there's a lot of focus on reading and establishing book reading as a habit. The only downside is that at this age there aren't any after school extra curriculum activities to engage children.

Our family has had a wonderful experience as a new Waterford family in the Lower School. The community has been very welcoming, and my children are excited to go to school each day. Their teachers know them as individuals, and they love the various specialized classes that engage them throughout the day. I am grateful they are part of such a supportive and caring environment where they can continue to develop their love of learning.

Waterford was amazing!! Will always be in my heart. My daughter became mysteriously ill the summer going into senior year and it affected her cognitive abilities. She was forced to miss a good amount of school as well as events of senior year. The kind response of the teachers and administrative sta...

Waterford is an amazing school, and we feel fortunate to have our daughter enrolled since Pre-K 4. She is now a second grader. You will not find a more caring group of teachers and administration. They spend the time and resources to identify and help with academic and social struggles, have an exce...

If you close your eyes and dream up the most perfect school for your children, Waterford would be it. I feel like I am gifting my daughter every day I send her there. We moved from New York this past year where my daughter attended a fairly rigorous school. Waterford has blown away our expectations....

My kids have been to 5 different schools between the two of them, and Waterford is my favourite. Our daughter, who has a 4.1 weighted GPA, attends a Catholic High School in Salt Lake and Waterford is by far the superior choice. The Catholic School seems to want its students to fail--it is very stran...
