My son has gone to schools all over the world, including international schools in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and the UK. He has said on many occasions that the teachers he has at South are the best he has ever had in any school and he has attended excellent schools. He says the teachers are interesting as well as interested in their students. As a former educator I am more than pleased with Westerville South.

I have had 3 sons graduate from the school and the first two were well prepared for the work required of them in college. We will find out about the third this year, but I don't expect significant problems. Each had extensive involvement in extra curricular activities that varied from vocal and instrumental music, theatre, multiple sports, class leadership and other group activities. Each had different but involved teachers and staff with whom they interacted and enjoyed. This is a school that has a diverse student population from racial and ethnic backgrounds and each son interacted with some members of other such groups.

I think it is a great school, especially with the IB program they have now. My son got the International Baccalaureate degree there, is in college now, and he said it prepared him very well for the Engineering program he is currently taking. They have top notch teachers, a great principal, and promote enthusiasm for learning.
