Inspired by the findings of Jean Piaget and the teachings of John Dewey, Waverlys educational philosophy asserts that students learn best when they are actively involved in their education, when they become responsible for their growth as students, when they are expected to work at the highest level of which they are capable, and when their learning is based on life experiences. Children and young adults learn in developmental stages; Waverly aims to have each student satiSFactorily complete each stage before moving on.
