Wellington Elementary is on the south side of Lexington near the Wellington subdivision and the recently developed Wellington Park. The native gardens, wildlife and walking trails there provide additional learning opportunities for our students.

The school’s own cutting-edge features go beyond the “green” physical structure. The combination of core content and focus on 21st century skills redefine rigor, preparing our students for a challenging and rapidly evolving world.

Wellington also offers an outdoor classroom, designated recycling areas and native landscaping.
