Four Winds School is an independent middle school where students in grades 6 through 8 learn at their own level and pace.
Our small size, combined with our focus on social skills, mental health, and social justice, creates a safe learning environment for students of any race, gender identity, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation.
In addition to these valuable life skills, our students learn self confidence, time management, and most importantly, they learn how to learn.
