Wheaton Academy

Not recommended, academic performance is average.

At this Christian school, the teachers are very caring. The curriculum is flexible and diverse, catering to students with different needs. There's a wide range of activities, and the host families arranged are also very dedicated. After four years of high school, my child has become more open, confident, willing to help others, and their faith has become more steadfast.

My child is graduating this year. Although it's regrettable that we cannot come to the US to attend the graduation ceremony, we are very grateful to the school and the host family for their care and support for our child during this time. Even though the school switched to online learning for the last eight-plus weeks, our child was still able to live and study safely with the host family and complete their exams. The school also frequently contacted us during this period, so we could stay updated on our child's learning progress. Many thanks to the school!

I am a graduate this year. This school was originally education-focused. After the principal changed, the school's friendliness towards international students needs improvement, which is a bit disappointing. White students generally go to better universities, while international students are usually placed in public universities outside the top fifty. If you want a one-on-one meeting with a teacher, this counseling service costs about $6000, including a three-day campus visit. The service needs improvement.

Our child graduated from Wheaton High School in 2019. During these four years at Wheaton, teachers and host families contributed a lot to our child, and we, as parents, witnessed our child's growth firsthand. Every time our child returned home for holidays, we felt they had grown up significantly. Although it was difficult for us as parents to send our child abroad at such a young age, we still believe that our decision to send them to Wheaton High School in the US for high school was the right one. During these four years, our child not only acquired knowledge and truly mastered English, but more importantly, their perspective on things completely changed. My biggest feeling is that our child has become mature, tolerant, empathetic, and compassionate. What's more, our child has a very clear goal and hope for the future. As parents, witnessing this kind of growth in our child brings us immense comfort and satisfaction!

I graduated from Wheaton High School four years ago, and I'm about to graduate from university this year. Every year, I still go back to Wheaton High School to visit my teachers and my host family. They have always encouraged me to study the major and direction that I am passionate about!

I am a staff member of the Wheaton High School International Student Program. Today, I saw a comment from a former student, who appears to be a current student. The school administration is very concerned about and takes seriously your dissatisfaction with the fees for college admission services. We hope that you or your parents can contact the school directly to provide more specific information and feedback, help resolve your actual problems, and collectively improve our college admission services.

The proportion of international students at Wheaton High School is about one-tenth, and I think this is very good. Here, I have very close girlfriends and American friends with whom I participate in clubs and Project Lead. During my four years, I changed host families once, and both different families took great care of me, giving me unconditional love and support. This allowed me to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of American culture. At Wheaton, I met many excellent and knowledgeable teachers who encouraged me to break down knowledge barriers, challenge fixed ideas, and continuously analyze and understand the world from different perspectives. They encouraged me to pursue my ideals and continue exploring the subjects and fields I am passionate about. The accomplishments of these four years at Wheaton cannot be solely measured by university application results, as that would inevitably be superficial and would also lead to doubts about how far one can ultimately go. These four years at Wheaton High School provided me with a foundation and a starting point in the United States. Here, I met many excellent teachers, beneficial friends, and confidants. I am very grateful!

The teachers at Wheaton High School are very friendly and easy to communicate with; it was an honor to meet many teachers who understood me during my four years of high school. They taught me what faith is and to pursue my dreams. Now, every Thanksgiving, I still go back to my host family and Wheaton High School. That place is my home in America!
