Whetstone Academy is happy to announce that we are celebrating our first month Anniversary!
"It is an exciting time for all of us here at Whetstone Academy," says Sharon Stricker, Head of School. "During our first month I am happy to announce that we accepted our first student on May 16th. As we build upon a remarkable first month and continue to enhance our services for students and families, we come to the close of our opening month of operation with a current census of six boys. We are looking forward to our first Family Workshop on July 1st!"
Being a farm school for middle schoolers as Montessori recommends, the boys were excited to harvest their first butternut squash from the garden this morning! Our two dozen animals and half dozen students have become fast friends as our young men build confidence through responsibility. Individual, group, and family therapy sessions are enhanced by the tranquil environment.
Whetstone Academyis a full therapeutic program in a Montessori environment. Tucked away in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near the Chattooga River, our program serves boys between the ages of 10 and 15 in grades 5 through 8. Whetstone Academy was founded in 2011 and incorporated as a 501(c) (3) organization.
