We believe it is our responsibility to help parents and children make the smoothest transition to their next school. Our goal is to help you find the school that is the “best fit” for your child and your family and to provide you with information and guidance to de-mystify the process.

The Head of School sends a series of newsletters to each family containing up to the minute information about applying to ongoing independent and public schools. She hosts panel discussions where you hear first hand from WSMS families who have already made the transition, and she meets with each family to help them sort through and make the best choices at each decision point. Our experienced and caring classroom teachers are partners in the process as well. They not only provide your child with a strong foundation for learning how to learn, they can help you better understand your child’s strengths and learning style. We are committed to helping each family select the best possible next school for their child.

We are deeply committed to working in partnership with parents. 

WSMS workshops help parents better understand their child’s temperament, learning style and developmental needs in relation to family and school dynamics. As part of our support system for families, the Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services provides an on-site mental health consultation program. This multi-faceted program for staff, parents and children focuses on child development issues, adult-child interactions, and the promotion of school and family relationships which enhance emotional development. Parents meet confidentially and without charge with either of our social workers to discuss any issue.

Our Parents Association raises the funds for our Financial Aid program and sponsors all events. Every parent is a Parents Association member. The Board of Trustees, which sets policy for the School and is responsible for its financial stability, is elected by the parents and staff from the parent body.
