Genuine people with genuine reactions who care about those within and outside of their community, in an environment where failure is accepted and can be built upon with help of faculty for a better view of life.

Anonymous, Faculty

Small school where teachers and students are never bored, because we are constantly learning from each other and pushing each other to be curious, thorough, rigorous, but mostly passionately involved in the moment. Voila!

Having evals instead of grades is way more humanizing. You're seen as a complex human being who is valued for their effort rather than just being a letter or a number. It also builds fabulous student/teacher relationships.

Carmella, Class of 2024

“

As I entered college I was amazed by how well Waring had prepared me. At first it wasn’t obvious: I had no idea what it would be like to have 1600 classmates, or suddenly receive grades! But as the classes started up, I realized that waring had endowed me with the ability and courage to speak up, to be a leader in countless ways, and to be a positive presence in a community. Waring is not like college: in college, professors may not reach out to students to ensure success, as they do at Waring. But Waring teaches us how to take the initiative to reach out, whether to professors, classmates, or anyone in the community; that skill is invaluable.
