Whitby School
Schools that associate academic rigor with test taking, hours of homework, and rote memorization of facts are preparing students for success in the last century. A Whitby education is about allowing students to define success on their own terms by inspiring their love of learning, broadening their sense of responsibility, developing their critical thinking skills and empowering them to take action in a global community. Check out Whitby’s videos for their Children’s House (18 mo – Kindergarten), Lower School (grades 1-4) and Upper School (grades 5-8) to see more about what life and learning at Whitby School is like, then make an appointment for a tour.
