WINGRA SCHOOL PROVIDES A UNIQUE AND VALUABLE EDUCATIONAL OPTION FOR FAMILIES IN THE GREATER MADISON AREA. AS PROGRESSIVE EDUCATORS, WE BELIEVE THAT LEARNING SHOULD BE RELEVANT AND MEANINGFUL FOR OUR STUDENTS. WE PAY ATTENTION TO ALL ASPECTS OF A STUDENT'S GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT--SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL, AND COGNITIVE--AND SEE THESE COMPONENTS AS INTERCONNECTED. OUR CLASSROOMS ARE VIBRANT LEARNING COMMUNITIES IN WHICH STUDENTS ARE VIEWED NOT AS PASSIVE RECIPIENTS OF INFORMATION BUT AS ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN THE LEARNING PROCESS. OUR COLLABORATIVE TEACHING MODEL ASSURES THAT STUDENTS ARE KNOWN AND VALUED BY ALL OF THEIR TEACHERS. AS AN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL WE ARE ABLE TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT CURRICULUM THAT IS FULLY ALIGNED WITH OUR PROGRESSIVE IDEALS AND THAT IS RESPONSIVE AND ABLE TO ADAPT TO INDIVIDUAL STUDENT NEEDS, INTERESTS, AND ABILITIES. OUR LONG-TERM GOAL IS TO PROMOTE LIFELONG ENTHUSIASM FOR LEARNING.
