The Wesley Prep Board of Trustees and Head of School Meg Fahrenbrook are thrilled to announce that Wesley Prep will be adding seventh and eighth grades. The first seventh grade class will open August 2026 and the first eighth grade class will open August 2027.
We look forward to sharing more with you in the coming months!
Parent Informational Sessions Ongoing
October and November, 2024
Head of School Meg Fahrenbrook and members of Wesley Prep's Expansion Team have been hosting informal parent coffees and Zoom chats for current Wesley Prep parents. Topics have included the intentional and experiential approach to learning that sets our elementary program apart as well as information about the addition of seventh and eighth grades. Adding these two bookend years will allow us to further nurture our students’ growth as scholars and as leaders.
An integral part of our growth to seventh and eighth grades is engaging in open dialogue with parents. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, answering questions, and sharing more about what your child could experience at Wesley Prep in the years to come.
If you have been unable to attend one of these scheduled events, please reach out to Meg Fahrenbrook to learn more.
We know the importance of the seventh and eighth grade years to a young person's academic, emotional, and spiritual development, and we are excited to provide two more years of our intentionally designed program for our students as the bookend to their Wesley Prep experience.
