Introduction to the Program

Engaging Academics: The Heart of Windrush School

At its core, our educational philosophy holds that academics should be active and engaging. To that end, we believe:

• Learning is a lifelong process. Our academic program focuses on fostering a lifelong love of learning and accomplishment as the cornerstone of academic success.
• Each child can excel academically. Our curriculum is designed to engage every individual, thereby ensuring that all students reach their highest potentials.
• Children learn best through active learning opportunities. Our child-centered classrooms allow teachers to guide students in the development of personal initiative, critical thinking skills, and the ability to think independently—the building blocks of lifelong learning.
• Learning styles vary from student to student. Our teachers are highly skilled at identifying the different academic needs of each student, and creating learning activities that are responsive to those differences.
• Academic success includes the development of self-confidence and appreciation for others. At every level, our instructional program provides students with the opportunity to share their individual ideas, to understand different perspectives, and to respect the ideas of others.
• Caring relationships between students and teachers build academic confidence. Consideration for others is modeled and encouraged throughout our community. Students and faculty honor, respect, and celebrate diversity.
• A strong partnership between home and school strengthens academic success. We invite parental involvement in the classroom and beyond, encourage close communication between parents and teachers, and treasure our supportive and welcoming community—all of which positively impact our students' motivation and achievement.
