Welcome

Dear prospective families,

Welcome to our inclusive and diverse school community, where we strive to balance academic excellence with each child’s holistic development. We offer a personalized curriculum aligned with every student’s strengths, interests, and abilities—fostering meaningful progress in areas of strength while guiding them toward success in areas where they are still developing. By tapping into students’ passions, providing just-right challenges, and involving them in setting and working toward meaningful goals, we spark curiosity, keep children on a path of continuous growth, and most importantly, cultivate skills that will serve them well throughout life.

We also recognize that while learning can be challenging, it should remain uplifting and positive. Visitors often share how inspired they are by the welcoming, supportive “vibe” they sense the moment they step onto our campus. They notice how students eagerly discuss their goals, celebrate each other’s progress, and confidently reflect on setbacks they’ve overcome. This collective energy of warmth, resilience, and ambition is exactly what our founder envisioned when she established the school to give her own children—and now grandchildren—an education they couldn’t find anywhere else. Today, we remain guided by the belief that when people—students, staff, and everyone else—feel a genuine sense of belonging, connection, and support, they flourish academically and personally.

While our website offers more details about our programs, I invite you to visit our campuses and experience our community for yourself. There’s nothing quite like seeing it firsthand, and I look forward to welcoming you in person.

Warmly,
Seth Pozzi
Head of School

Dear prospective students,

As a student at WHPS, we promise to honor your individuality and genuinely appreciate you for exactly who you are. We believe in your boundless potential and are dedicated to helping you grow into your very best self.

Preschool (Toddlers–Early TK)
During your preschool years, you’ll begin an exciting journey inspired by an emergent curriculum. Your teachers will pay attention to what interests you most and build activities around those ideas. Together, we’ll explore the wonders of our world, learn more about ourselves, and spark the curiosity that leads to a lifetime of discovery.

Elementary (TK–5th Grade)
From TK through fifth grade, you’ll embark on new adventures both on your own and alongside your classmates. You’ll become an author, a reader, a mathematician, and a scientist; you’ll learn another language, play musical instruments, and express your creativity through the arts. While textbooks and tests do have a place, we believe real growth happens through hands-on projects, collaboration, and imaginative problem-solving. You’ll also learn to set and achieve your own goals, discovering how to celebrate your progress and overcome setbacks. Along the way, you’ll build a strong appreciation for yourself, others, and the world around you.

Our school is grounded in what we believe is best for children, and we approach your learning journey with the same care we would want for our own families. We can’t wait to welcome you to WHPS!

Sincerely,
Seth Pozzi
Head of School
