"Since joining the Whitfield team in 2018, I've been very impressed by this diverse learning community. Teachers are creative, dedicated and passionate, and students are deeply engaged in academics as well as a variety of extracurricular activities. Coming from over 50 zip codes and representing many cultural, social and economic groups, we create a balanced, kind community dedicated to high academic expectations while maintaining a low stress environment."

"Whitfield is a place where children can be their authentic self; where college preparatory academics are equally as important as character education. I am fortunate to work in a community where students are known and valued for their individual differences."
