We inspire transformative learning through meaningful relationships, academic excellence and unique opportunities. Curiosity, dignity, honor and kindness are central to our community, which fosters a deep sense of belonging for students in grades Pre-K(3) through 12th grade.
Parents choose private schools for their small teacher-to-student ratios, academic rigor and innovative teaching methods.
We Believe in the Power of Faith and Intellect.
Wesleyan School believes faith and intellect are great partners with each other. At Wesleyan, it’s not a matter of choosing faith or intellect, but rather using both to create the best possible education for your child.
