Wildwood School Viewbook: Brave Learners, Thinkers, and Doers

MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Into the Wild This yearlong capstone project for 8th graders is an independent student-driven exploration of a topic of personal interest. With the guidance of a mentor, students embark on a brave and reflective journey that has them building autonomy, mastering new skills, applying the Habits of Mind and Heart, and strengthening their sense of purpose around learning through a single long-term project of their choice.

Study Skills Course We provide 6th graders with the tools to understand their individuality as learners and the strategies necessary for greater independence as they execute their coursework. Students learn how to effectively take notes, manage their time and materials, plan ahead, and execute a presentation.
