We would like Lucas to attend WMA because we believe that WMA can offer the safe and supportive environment to help foster Lucas' growth both academically and socially.  Lucas is a sensitive child who exhibits the ability and inclination to learn by doing and can do so independently in the right setting. We believe that WMA would provide this ideal learning space and help with his development.  Furthermore, we are drawn to the relatively smaller classroom teacher to student ratios at WMA compared to public schools because we feel that it is important during this critical developmental stage for Lucas to have individualized attention when it is needed.
