In 1930, Charlotte Ferebee, a parishioner of St. Andrew’s, active in the Sunday School, perceived a need in the community for a small, private school.

The school was named the Ferebee School. It operated with the philosophy that young children need to be in a setting small and personal enough to help them during the early years of their development.

Although the name changed to West Ghent School, the school continues to focus very carefully on the intellectual, social, emotional and physical needs of the young while offering challenging, engaging, multi-sensory lessons for ages 2-Kindergarten/First Grade.

After 93 years, West Ghent School continues to be a welcoming and strong community resource now serving its third generation of families and is the longest standing, continuous pre-school in the area. West Ghent School continues to serve local families with the best pre-school experience in the area.
