As parents, our family couldn’t be more thrilled with our child’s experience at Waldo International School. Their curriculum is challenging and engaging. Waldo's STEM program is amazing. My son is inspired to go back every day! We have been with the school for a while now and really love that they concentrated on problem-solving skills. Can't say enough about the teachers and administrative team. They go above and beyond; we have experienced firsthand the level of care that goes into every lesson and IB project. The administration is absolutely wonderful and flexible. As working parents, we are also happy with the afterschool enrichment program knowing that our son is participating in extracurricular activities. We highly recommend Waldo International School.

My kids have been going to Waldo for the last 4 years, and it has been a great experience. From elementary to middle school the faculty and staff are extremely helpful, the curriculum and teachers really make the difference to prepare them for future success. They academic level is superb and the school makes an effort to tailor it to each student. We are very proud and lucky to be part of the Waldo International School community.

Absolutely amazing private school. We've met some incredible educators that we will forever remember. The place is modern, clean, organized and well equipped. They also have a lot of clubs and other fun activities for kids. The love and care that’s given is incredible, we are so glad we chose Waldo for our little one.

I just did a tour of The Waldo School yesterday and I'm really amazed and impressed! The staff member who showed me around (I think she was the director) took her time explaining everything and didnt make me feel rushed at all. You can tell they've got their act together....Big bright classrooms everything was super organized and the kids seemed happy and busy with different activities.

I recently went on a tour of The Waldo School and really liked what I saw. The place was super clean and tidy, you could tell they take pride in keeping it nice and the teachers seemed happy and were really energetic. It made me excited to be there and you could tell they really care about teaching and the kids.

A big WOW for me was them having a nurse at the school - that's awesome and means the kids will be taken care of in case of any issues. Plus, a heated indoor pool!? Amazing bonus.

When I was there, some students were playing outside in the big space out back. Good to see the kids running around and having fun. Kids learn better outdoors!

When I got there I talked to a parent waiting to pick up their kid. They raved about how great the school is and how easy it is to talk to the staff about a child's progress or anything you need to know.

Overall it seems like an amazing place for little ones to grow and learn in a supportive environment that helps them with school but also with life and relationships. The lessons seemed thoughtful and balanced.

Our daughter is a current student at The Waldo School, and we’ve been very happy with her and our experience. We were initially concerned about her adjustment, but those worries disappeared once she started.

From the first day, her teacher made us feel like she took care of our daughter as her own and that she truly cared about her growth and wellbeing. She kept us updated with photos and updates throughout the day, and when our daughter is home, she often mentions how much she loves her teacher and classroom friends.

The school has their own gym and outdoor space, and the classrooms themselves have endless activities that promote movement and learning. The admin staff are also very kind and welcoming, and I would absolutely recommend this school to anyone interested.

My son has been in the elementary school program at Waldo for past two years. I had done extensive research into different curriculums, and found that the IB inquiry based curriculum is highly effective for developing critical thinking skills. I've observed significant growth between my son's development and those of his friends who attend other schools. The teachers and school admin are great and maintain good communication with parents.

The Waldo School has been a perfect fit for my child with its hands-on, inquiry-based learning approach. Everyone is so supportive and really encourages the kids to explore and grow. Great school and amazing teachers!
