Welcome

Welcome to Whitby School. I hope you will take the time to explore this website and find out what makes Whitby such a unique and special school.

At Whitby, each child's natural curiosity is encouraged, guided, and enriched by our inspired teachers in a supportive atmosphere that is conducive to their personal growth. The enriching environment that is a trademark of a Montessori school education is complemented by the highly regarded and proven International Baccalaureate Program that helps build productive citizens of the world.

A Whitby education develops a skilled, confident and compassionate learner. Students benefit from a ratio of 1 teacher to every 6 students and a rigorous curriculum, all on a state-of-the-art campus equipped to support the most effective applications of technology. Uniquely, our students are not seen as having mastered the goals of the curriculum until they take action and apply them in their lives. As a leading private school in Connecticut, Whitby's exceptional approach motivates children to acquire the intellectual, personal and social skills that will ultimately distinguish them from their peers. The result is students who learn, live and succeed.

A Whitby education is a profound gift to your child. Please feel free to contact me with your questions, or better yet, schedule a visit to our extraordinary school. I look forward to meeting you.
