My family became part of the Wakefield family about three years ago when our daughter transferred from public school in Fairfax County to Wakefield’s Middle School as a sixth grader. I thought we would be here for the three years of middle school and then return to our public high school. Well, my daughter is now a freshman in the Upper School and beyond happy with everything about Wakefield. I am continually amazed (and so pleased) that she is so happy during her teenage years. My husband and I are pleased to see her do well in class and participate fully in extra-curricular activities. But these measures only hint at the real reason I am a Wakefield fan. My daughter is surrounded by caring friends, caring teachers, caring coaches and caring administrators. The students encourage and support each other to do their best. Good grades and good times are complementary goals at Wakefield. Plus, the school encourages students to act responsibly and accept responsibility. Students can easily step up to more advanced classes or activities as their time and talents allow.
It’s a great school. Not only are we here for all four years of Upper School, but we will be sending another child Wakefield’s way in the near future.
