School Reviews

5 7/25/2025

My daughters started at Wesley at non-traditional entry points (1st and 5th grades) five years ago and were met with open arms. Since day one, the community has been an incredible support system for the kids and also for the entire family. Their education has been top-notch, and my older daughter felt well prepared for high school. Highlights include creative projects in every grade, the 6th grade Greek Festival, and the 8th grade London trip. Best school decision we could have made.
