They've been there since they were babies and my children are kind, intelligent, loving and giving children. All from the excellent attention, education and staff. I can't thank them enough for taking such incredible care of our children! Highly recommend, wait on the list if you have to. It's worth it!

Do not waste your money and come here. The education is fair at best. You will get a better…read moreeducation in public schools. Horrible Staff and teachers are inexperienced and overly harsh on students. It used to be better but most of the good teachers have left. They teach by fear. There are no resources available at the school. You will be paying for outside support and sports if interested. The staff is horrible and treat the students like military soldiers. The kids are not allowed to be children! You will have to pay for everything and don't get a decent education. The recesses are too short and and the kids don't even get one on Wednesday this year. Your child will have to memorize endless prayers in every class (PE, music and art). Homework is over the top here with at least 1.5 hours. My kids were miserable here! So happy we left! A lot of good families have left over the last few years as the school tolerates horrible children to stay (they may go to the office but never removed from the school, tuition is too important to the school). Also Skaggs school is hiding abuse cases, tolerating unacceptable behavior from teachers, the catholic school system in Utah is in trouble and it's apparent. Don't waste your money there are better places (public, private charter options) where your children will be much happier!

Waterford was great for us in one way. My daughter became mysteriously ill pretty much for an…read moreamount of time in junior/senior year. It affected her cognitive abilities and she was forced to miss a good amount of school as well as special events of senior year. The kind, discreet response of the teachers and administrative staff blew us all away. They were fiercely protective of her. My daughter is pretty private but the students and their parents who knew were equally as amazing! Character was high with the kids (they didn't gossip much like you might find at another school, held her confidences and, as a result, feel like the school will forever be in my heart. The only issue that holds me back is that I feel it can be very rules heavy, a bit punitive (kids were expelled and punished for little). It lacks a vibrant social scene, can be a bit provincial in its academic and enriching offerings and can tend to mute students from sharing thoughts and expressing themselves. The last thing is that students don't really head committees or initiatives in junior or senior year... they really should and parents should be nowhere to be found. High school is the time to try new things and fail. Prom committee, the school store, a real school newspaper...They really aren't encouraged to as the parent body leads all. This proved tougher when my daughter went off to high school. Other than that, great school with great classes and teachers, special kids and- for the most part- a wonderful, warm parent body. Thank you Waterford!

After 4 years of sending our kids here, we have learned enough about the ultra-private and…read moreconservative ways in which the Board of Directors, and the Head of School run the school. It is so far reaching that kids can be expelled because of their parents behavior (reference the Waterford Code of Conduct). We are seriously thinking of moving our kids to Rowland Hall.

The staff here are overworked, under paid, and under appreciated. The owners and management are…read morejust plain horrible. They could care less about the staff or kids. I used to work multiple 16 hour days a week and not once was I thanked, I was just asked for more. The only time anyone will ever talk to you is to tell you how you did something they did not approve of. The upper management completely fabricated a narrative of me that was false. I have the same degree as the owners and I was treated like I did not even have a high school degree. I spent more time with the boys than anyone else but my thoughts and opinions meant nothing. They say they are a relationship model program but in reality if you have any connection with the boys they immediately insinuate you have no boundaries. Staff that should have been fired were promoted because they played into the workplace garbage and were easily manipulated. Want to talk about drugs? Sure. Teach them about drugs? Go for it. Masterbation? How to extend ejaculation? Give them access to pornography? Or lose a kid or two? Hate kids? Be out of ratio? Want to sleep with other staff? Dress like a slut for work with teenage boys? Out kids sexuality to parents? Break HIPAA? Expect a promotion soon! These are all examples of current staff, management and owners. Do yourself and your child a favor and NEVER send them here. The kids are AMAZING. The only reason I stayed was for them. To keep them safe and loved. They deserve so much better. They are vulnerable children who are depending on adults to keep them safe and nurtured but instead they are surrounded by money hungry corporate puppets who do not care for them.

More concerning is what seems to be a bent on the therapists' part to identify "trauma" as the root cause of behavioral challenges and the mother as the source of trauma. In our case, they haven't even figured out that the emotional "trauma," aka abuse came from the father's side. Our daughter is too gentle and kind to ever speak negatively about anyone, especially her children's father, but the staff should be trained and professional enough to sniff out the truth. Such a disappointment.

It has been a safe, loving and nurturing place for my little guys to thrive. We especially love Mrs. Mary and all of the teachers in her class. We have moved since they were first enrolled, but the extra drive is worth knowing they are in such good hands! Thank you for running an amazing school and program - it has been such a special experience!

She loves her teachers, has made a lot of friends and is learning reading, writing, math, science and life skills at an incredible rate. She loves to sing us the silly songs she learns and show off her art projects when we pick her up. The director and teachers focus on helping students develop social and emotional skills in addition to a well rounded academic curriculum. Questions (or concerns) are welcomed and responded to in a timely manner with an effective resolution. The school is safe with a locked campus and a good teacher to student ratio. The classrooms are clean, the grounds are spacious and the playground is well maintained. There hasn't been any staff turnover in the two years my daughter has attended and you can feel how much they care about the kids. They educate with warmth and good humor.
