School Notes Overview: |
All children deserve a school that will see them for who they are, will develop their potential, encourage a lifelong love of learning and accomplishment, and nurture a sense of respect for themselves and for others. The very best schools function as supportive communities that prepare children to be skillful, thoughtful and caring individuals capable of meeting the future with knowledge, optimism, resilience, innovation and creativity. In such a school community, academic excellence, personal excellence and civic excellence are one and the same.

- The Windrush philosophy is to bring out the best in each child while encouraging teamwork and collaborative achievement. Both inside and outside the classroom the learning atmosphere combines joyous exuberance with intensity of purpose. Students, faculty and parents work cooperatively as a learning community. Our challenging academic curriculum encourages learning in depth and develops thinking skills that empower students to solve problems, to accomplish their own learning goals, and to apply their knowledge beyond the classroom. The program insures that students develop the powerful reading, writing, and mathematical skills required for future academic success. Content in the humanities and sciences is carefully selected with an eye to the future so that it addresses the concepts, skills and understanding that will enable our students to make dynamic contributions to the world of tomorrow. At every level, academic learning at Windrush is intertwined with critical thinking and decision-making. We prepare our students to make choices that involve complicated problem solving, collaborating with others, navigating by their moral compasses, and evaluating through the lenses of social, community and ethical responsibility.
