We moved to Utah from CA three years ago, my daughter loves the school so much, she has lots of friends here and finds her passion for her future. I'd like to say it's the best choice for our family we have made so far.

Waterford is a very diverse school with students and teachers from all over the country and the world. The campus is similar to a small college. The emphasis on liberal arts education really is different from other schools and helps kids maximize their potential and learn to be curious about the world.

My kids have been to 5 different schools between the two of them, and Waterford is my favourite. Our daughter, who has a 4.1 weighted GPA, attends a Catholic High School in Salt Lake and Waterford is by far the superior choice. The Catholic School seems to want its students to fail--it is very stran...
