What is the best private school in Wellington?

What do you know about the Wellington School?

• This is for people who have attended, know someone who has attended, generally are in some way associated with The Wellington School in Columbus,Ohio. I am a 7th grader with a 4.0 GPA and standardized test scores in the advanced section. I am in Gifted & Talented and my G&T scores were in the 99th percentile(highest possible) in reading and social studies, 98th in math and 97th in science. My activities have included: Stage Manager for Annie at school played Rondi(main character) in the school play Sideways Stories from Wayside school (21+ girls auditioned, 6 female roles), 1-2 more credits by application time main witness in Mock trial green belt in taekwondo(purple by time of admission) played soccer since kindergarten in rec league(average skill) Spelling Bee Geography Bee Power of the Pen-won 1rst place in Narratives, 2nd in Poetry at Writing Stars competition lights, run & costume crew in all productions (1 play, 1 musical, 3 talent shows) at school I have attended public school since kindergarten, but would love to go to the Wellington School for high school for it's academics, theatre, and probably athletics programs. My other options are CAHS(alternative academic high school) or Whetstone(average high school) To attend, I would need the academic merit scholarship. So, Do you wear uniforms, if so what are they? Do you like Wellington? Describe an give your opinion on the theater program? Describe the scholarship and the difficulty and nature of the essay and test they give you? Are people at Wellington on scholarships treated by other students differently? Is the scholarship full or partial(how much?)? Do you think I could get the scholarship? Thank you so much I am eternally grateful!!!!!!

  Hi. I am currently in the 8th grade at wellington. Yes, we do wear uniforms. For bottoms you can wear khaki or navy pants, shorts, or a plaid skirt. For tops you can wear while or navy polos, you can wear a white or navy sweater, and any of the school sweatshirts, or any sweatshirt you get from sports teams at wellington. As for shoes, you can basically wear anything except neon shoes and flip flops. I have been at wellington since i was in kindergarten and I love it. In 7th grade you have the option to take either latin, spanish or french( you must take one) This year our classes are 50 minutes each. we have 1st and 2nd then a break, 3rd and 4th then lunch recess and then 5th,6th, and 7th. You can take either choir, band, or string (only one, and must take one) As for sports, in the fall there is girls tennis, girls/boys gold, and girls/boys soccer. In the winter there is swimming and basketball, and then in the spring we have lax and baseball/ softball. I love our theater program, we are currently searching for a new director so we have one directing our middle school musical, Willy Wonka and then we have a different one directing the high school play. I am not on a scholarship so i am no aware of the difficulty level of the test. People are treated the same at wellington no matter how much money they have. You don't really know who is on a scholarship unless they share that information. Check out www.wellington.org to find out more information on the scholarship and how to meet up with someone to try and get one. I think you would have no problem getting a scholarship.
