What People Are Saying

  • Alumni

    Ware Academy has opened many doors of opportunity for me, and I am grateful for the chance to be a part of the Wave family. This school has pushed me to be someone I never thought I could be, whether working harder as an athlete, becoming a better student, or connecting with classmates and teammates. Ware Academy's motto is to educate the whole child, and Ware has truly educated all of me.

  • Parent

    I send her to school everyday knowing that her teachers, coaches, administrators, and staff have her under their wing.  She is loved.  She is cared for.  She is being pushed.  And that feeling, is like no other...  I just wanted to thank you and your staff for everything you have done to make my daughter’s middle school years so perfect.

  • Parent

    We started our 3-year-old in Ware Academy's program not only because of the great academics at his age and beyond, but also because of their strong character education program and the exposure all students have to each other.

  • Teacher

    As a former public school teacher who now works for Ware Academy, I can say only that this is what education should be. The school holds high standards for student and staff conduct and supports all students in meeting these standards. Ware develops character, a growth mindset, and a sense of balance in academic, physical, fine arts, and character education. I love teaching again!
