Upper School Virtual Student Visit | The Wellington School

Hello! My name is Mr. Raghunathan, and I’m glad you are interested in attending Wellington for upper school. I’m looking forward to meeting you in person (virtually) and getting to know what interests you about your education, and what new areas you would like to explore in the next few years.

Before we meet, I have a ”getting to know us” assignment for you. First, please watch the two short videos below. The first video is from my YouTube channel, and shares a bit about school at Wellington. The second video is from Dr. Sullivan, our academic dean, who will tell you about the “nuts and bolts” of the school day, courses, opportunities and unique features of a Wellington education.

Then, just like at Wellington, you have a say in the design of your visit experience. Before we meet, review at least three of the class introduction videos below that interest you. We’ll talk about what you picked, and why.

Bring your questions about us, and be ready to share about you! See you soon!
