GOOD TO KNOW Useful information about and for us

Mastery Transcript Consortium Wins Gold Award We’re excited to share that the Mastery Transcript Consortium (MTC) has received the annual Reimagine Education Gold Award. Called the “Oscars of Educational Innovation,” the award recognizes excellence in areas such as innovation, scalability, and efficacy. The MTC is a network of 230 schools creating a high-school transcript that reflects the unique skills, strengths, and interests of each learner. Wildwood is proud to be one of the 15 founding MTC schools. In the fall Jenn Spellman, director of upper school, and Regan Galvan, director of student life, presented at the Mastery Transcript Consortium in Northern California. It was a unique opportunity to share with peer schools our standards-based assessment practices, unique student-centered programming, and emphasis on the value of reflection and advocacy. Wildwood welcomes MTC member schools to our campus in March when we host the spring consortium.

Wildwood Receives New Accreditation

We are proud to announce our accreditation with the Council of International Schools (CIS), a membership community committed to high-quality international education. Member schools must “infuse their programs and offerings with international and intercultural perspective so that students can move forward with the attitudes and understanding that will provide them with a solid base wherever their studies or work may take them.”
