From the Office of Admission May 2021 At Wardlaw+Hartridge, education is personal
Wow, it is May already, and we have been learning in person since September. Now that's personal, and not an easy accomplishment in a global pandemic. The only way we could achieve this incredible accomplishment is by being personal. Paying attention to details ensures that our approach is appropriate during these extraordinary times. Being personal is Wardlaw+Hartridge's specialty.
For as long as I can remember, and that's over 35 years, our approach, as a school, has been personal. Here you are a name, not a number. Not just your learning is important, but your SEL (social emotional learning) is equally important. Sure, providing our students the finest educational experience is critical for their development, but providing an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding is more important now than ever.
The W+H Girls Golf team remains undefeated this season and headed into the State Championships tomorrow with a win at the Sectional Championships and teh Conference Championships. The team is ranked first in the state. The team's success began with winning the title at the Red Devil Classic posting a four-player score of 307, which ranked 33 strokes ahead of the runner-up and they have not looked back since. The team is not only sharp on the links but off as well. Team member Claire Lu '24 captured the essence of her signature sport to win the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA) Great Junior Golf Design Challenge of 2021. She designed a par-5 hole and named it hOle. Claire's design was selected as the best of more than 85 designs sent in, and she is recognized as the top Junior Designer for 2021.

JOIN THE WARDLAW+HARTRIGE FAMILY
Personal attention has long been one of the hallmarks of a Wardlaw+Hartridge education. It's an important strength of small schools like ours. Students know their teachers and, perhaps more importantly, teachers know their students. These connections lead to relationships that help guide our students, not only during their W+H years but often long after they graduate, attend college and embark on successful careers. Many of our students genuinely appreciate these connections, not only while they are here on campus, but also later in life as alumni who come back to visit us. Read about one of those recent visits.
The Admission Team at W+H continues to provide new families with opportunities to get to know our campus through virtual visits. Contact any of the team members below to set up a time to learn more.
