My daughter was introvert before coming to Williston. Today she has been transformed. She has the best time of her life in such a wonderful diverse community. She has been studying hard, participating in various activities, connecting with plenty of different people from diverse cultures, and well preparing for her life at university. The dormitories are brand new, large room, and worth the cost of boarding expenses. It is hard to stay introverted in Williston. Activities at school, environment setting, and large dorm residence do make all boarding students stay connected. For those looking for college level classes, Williston offers plenty of AP classes.
Coordination for international students is well managed. Pick up and drop at the airport, storage of stuff over summer, accommodation for early arrival and late leave. My daughter has been accepted into a top rank school by Niche, but choosing Williston is her best education decision. Williston is her home away from home.

Williston has been a great place for my growth as a student, as well as a person. Everyone finds their place here socially and academically. Something I particularly appreciate about the school is that students can make their own path. With the Williston Scholars program, as well as the music intensive and art intensive, students create independent studies that interest them. Although the word connection is thrown around a lot, I have found that this school truly cares about fostering connections. We have enjoyable student activities like lip sync, Willy gras (a carnival-like event), and themed sports games. They make students want to get off of their phones and have fun outside with friends. On a nice day, most students will be sitting outside on the quad playing spikeball, volleyball, or frisbee with their friends. Williston is very strong in sports, however students here are not limited and there is high appreciation for the arts.
I love Williston like it's my second home! I am always missing it when I go home for breaks and I am and will always miss school when I am away. The community is the best part of it! The teachers, coaches, faculty, and students are always so welcoming and are always willing to help out in any way they can. Everyone is so supportive and kind that it is an amazing place to be!
