School Notes
- At Winston Preparatory School, we view each student as a unique individual learner who has potential and is Able to Learn. It is also important that our work is grounded in research regarding how people learn and the learning differences that cause students to struggle. We begin our understanding by looking through a neuropsychological lens based on decades of research on learning and cognition. This is just the first step. It is important that we understand both who our students are as learners, as well as who they are as people. WPS students have some notable gifts, and our individual approach allows us to explore and develop these gifts. Everything we do is based on this in-depth understanding of each individual student. Winston Preparatory School is an innovative day school for students in the 2nd through 12th grade with learning differences such as dyslexia, nonverbal learning disabilities, and executive functioning difficulties. We do this through a process that understands each student, individualizes a program to meet their needs and that builds a powerful sense of community. We call this process the Continuous Feedback System. This system is designed to deeply understand each student's specific learning profile including their strengths and potential. Come to an open house and learn more about our educational philosophy and tour our school.

I wanted to share that my son was just named Student of the Month at Winston Prep, and while that's an amazing achievement on its own, it means so much more to our family. This year at Winston Prep has been a journey of healing, growth, and transformation. After years of being overlooked and underserved in the Elizabeth public school system, Winston became a place to undo the damage, both emotionally and academically, and begin to rebuild the confidence and education that every child deserves to have. There are truly no words that can fully express what this school and its incredible staff have done for my son and for our family. They saw him, believed in him, and nurtured the brilliance we always knew was there. To see him thriving, smiling, and recognized for his efforts means everything.
