Four Winds School, Inc. Reviews
Rating 5 out of 5 5 reviews
I love working at Four Winds School. As a teacher, it's so wonderful to have an opportunity to make deep, years-long connections with my students, and to know that they are truly in an environment where they can learn and grow at their own level and pace. Unlike when I taught in a traditional public school setting, I can honestly say that each and every student learns every single day, which is extremely heartening to me as an educator. If I had children, I would absolutely send them to Four Winds School because I know they would not only receive an excellent education, but that they would be supported socially and emotionally. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions about our small school!
Four Winds allow students to thrive in a way larger academic programs could only dream of. The "bi-weekly goals" model allows students to work at their own pace while gaining skills in time management that most students don't gain until college. This model, combined with the individualized attention the small school size provides, allows gifted students to accelerate as fast as they'd like, while simultaneously supporting students who struggle academically by moving at a pace that's not overwhelming and lets them feel accomplished. This school is light years ahead of other pedagogical models that can hinder the confidence of struggling students and leave gifted students feeling bored and frustrated. Four Winds is a school that feels academically enriching and emotionally safe for all students. I primarily attribute my success in higher education and beyond to my time at Four Winds.
From the start of communications with Four Winds, Becca, one of the co-directors, put us at ease. She was friendly, knowledgeable and so obviously passionate about her job. The application/interview/visiting/admissions process was seamless. The entire school welcomed our prospective student as if he already went there. Welcoming him the way they did as a school made the sting of leaving his beloved elementary school so much easier. He has now been attending Four Winds almost two months, and we are so happy with our decision to choose this school. Our child is learning time management, actively participating in planning his own academic schedule, and learning in a way that he is actually retaining information and enjoying himself while doing so. Communication from his teachers has been outstanding and there hasn't been a time since being in school where his mind has been active and engaged in such a profound way. This is exactly what he needed, especially in a pandemic.
