About Us: The Role of Parents

At Wye River Upper School, parents, faculty and students benefit from parents who remain involved in their adolescent's academic and personal development. That is why we provide many opportunities for parents to remain active in the life of our school, including:

• WRUS Parent's Association
• Parent advisories to help us develop programs and identify priorities.
• Fundraising events designed to hold tuition down and provide financial aid.
• Consistent and frequent communication with parents.
• Participation in field trips and overnight excursions including camping and service trips to Mississippi.

"You've created such a great school for students, like M., that otherwise would not experience the success that they do at Wye River. Your teachers not only "taught" M. but they truly inspired her! She talks about Plato and her new love of Philosophy, she beams over the comment that Mr. Wootton wrote on her report card about reading her published work some day, and she now even thinks math is ok." - A WRUS parent, 2009
