What are Wornick alumni saying about their experience at Wornick?

...In my nine years at Wornick, I was immersed in Jewish learning, which I have taken with me to my high school. Wornick taught me to be a leader and to be proud of my Jewish heritage and identity. Because of this, I was able to create my schools first Jewish club in years Ill always be grateful for the community and culture I experienced at Wornick.

Wornick's warm and welcoming community that promotes self-advocacy has helped me throughout high school and now on my gap year in Israel. Wornick taught me skills of developing relationships with mentors and teachers and community-building, both of which have been invaluable skills far beyond my time at Wornick. Yossi M., class of 2018, aragon High School, Yale University
Being a student at Wornick has shaped who I am today. Having a supportive and inclusive environment at such a young age molded my character and prioritized the development of my character. Being immersed in a community that has strong roots in Jewish values and ethics, instilled positive behaviors that I still act upon today, such as my inseparable connection to Israel, Jewish life, and a desire to be a leader.

The small environment allowed me to grow my confidence and communication skills with teachers which set me apart from my peers in high school and college. I also have the honor of saying that I am still close friends with many of my peers from Wornick whom I first met in kindergarten.

Academically, Wornick taught me how to think critically, which was evident in the way my teachers approached learning in a wide array of fields. Critical thinking is the most valuable skills that one can have going into high school, college, and the work force.Phillip Y., class of 2012, Kehillah Jewish High School, Wake Forest University SENIOR
