[edit] Waverly Elementary School
The Waverly Elementary School consists of about 200 students, from pre-school to grade six. The curriculum is similar to that of a Montessori school, with an emphasis on interactive learning.
[edit] Waverly High School
The Waverly High School consists of about 100 students in grades nine through twelve. At the beginning of the 2007–2008 school year, the high school moved to the new Dean A. and Janice E. Scarborough Campus, a facility consisting of seven buildings. The buildings on the new campus, which was written up in The Los Angeles Times, are all refurbished houses built before 1940. The Pasadena Historical Society helped to fund the moving of three buildings from their original site so that the buildings could be preserved and put to use. The new facility expanded Waverly's capacity to about 100 students.
Waverly High School's curriculum encourages its students to pursue academic and extracurricular activities. The faculty work to establish a curriculum that will emphasize learning, like other schools. Many courses at Waverly are discussion-based seminars, a format that is facilitated by the small class size.
Waverly is registered with the California Interscholastic Federation.
