The Waterford School has a look of its own to match its singular personality. The 40 acre campus is bordered with playing fields. The championship gymnasium, buildings nestled next to buildings, acres of grass and graceful trees proffer serenity. Plans for a new Science Center promises to strengthen and invest in the science, mathematics and technology education of its students.
The muted tones are civilized and sophisticated. Student art and photo exhibits hang in the hallways next to winning entries in poetry contests and posters announcing the next dance, drama production or volleyball game.Waterford is a village not just by design but by population. Students grow up here. They walk, stroll, jog and race between buildings, up and down carpeted hallways, in and out of classrooms that catch the view of the Wasatch Mountain range, and streams of natural light. They take their own steps forward but are influenced by older students who stride on ahead, classmates who listen and contribute and faculty who teach in the classroom and as they walk the halls, speak in assemblies, stop to talk, clarify an idea, write a comment on a paper, write a progress report at the end of the term or call home to clarify and congratulate. The village thrives on interchange and interaction. It addresses how to respect, consult, and help each other. How to get along; how to study, analyze, critique; how to work through the inherent struggles of learning, maturing; how to contribute and how to pursue distinction.
The Waterford village promises support and security to its community. It gives definition to the educational experience by giving place and priority to why students and faculty, parents and administration come together in the first place: to be taught, to teach each other, to be changed, to live differently and to learn truth. |
