Dear members of the Waverly Community, 

Our school celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. While this annual report acknowledges contributions made in the prior fiscal year (2022-2023), three decades of service as a unique place of education and community life merit reflection.

Within a relatively short time, the school has seen much growth and change, in each step staying constant to progressive education and the goals of inspiring and building upon students’ creativity, intellectual curiosity, and engagement—all while recognizing, in fact treasuring, the power of individual differences and connections.  Waverly’s success lives and grows within its 454 alumni and the thousands of students whose time at Waverly helped them develop as confident, inquiring collaborators in every endeavor that followed their time here. 

Physical growth is an easier measure, and there has been much. Starting as an elementary through middle school in 1993 (with nine prior years as a preschool), subsequent years brought an expansion to high school, lease and opening of the farm, purchase and construction of the high school, purchase of the elementary school, and, last year, purchase of the property at 124 Waverly Drive, each step making way for exciting possibilities.

Much more will follow. It has been my honor to serve as Chair of the Board of Trustees and to help guide Waverly’s current path. The Board recognizes that the attainments of 2022-2023 – and all the years past and future – would and will be impossible without the ongoing and generous financial support of Waverly families. Your support and care, in all its various forms, sustain our school and will allow Waverly to flourish as it continues its path into the future. Thank you, on behalf of the Board.

Serita Young
Chair, Board of Trustees
