About
Description
Wingra School is an independent progressive school located in Madison, Wisconsin. They offer a unique approach to education for children between the ages of five and fourteen. At Wingra School, they believe in creating an engaging learning environment without the use of tests or grades.
Instead, they focus on experiential learning, multi-age collaboration, integrated thematic units, and authentic assessment. Experiential learning is at the core of Wingra School's educational philosophy. They believe that learning is best achieved through active engagement with the world.
Students have the opportunity to reflect, analyze, and synthesize information, make decisions, and learn from their experiences. Wingra School also values multi-age collaboration, recognizing that age alone does not determine a child's skill level. By creating multi-age classrooms, they foster a sense of community and provide opportunities for students to support and learn from each other.
Integrated thematic units are another key aspect of Wingra School's curriculum. By teaching subjects in the context of a thematic unit, students can better understand the interconnectedness of knowledge and retain information more effectively. Authentic assessment is used at Wingra School to evaluate each student's progress.
Instead of relying on tests and letter grades, educators use regular observation, documentation, reflection, dialogue, and conferences to assess a student's development. This approach allows for a more personalized and holistic understanding of each child's learning journey. Overall, Wingra School offers a dynamic and engaging learning environment where students are encouraged to explore, collaborate, and grow academically, socially, and emotionally
