Vision

To transform how we as adults and students interact with ourselves, each other, and the world around us!  

Mission

In WPS children learn to develop student agency through learning, modeling, and developing habits, skills, and mindsets:

• Self Management (self-awareness, identity, self-regulation )
• Relational and Social Awareness (empathy, civic engagement, cultural competence)
• Problem Solving (cognitive flexibility, critical thinking, planning)
• Collaboration (perspective-taking, teamwork, communication)
• Reflective Thinking (metacognition, mindfulness, inquiry)

In a learner centered classroom, students are partners in the teaching-learning cycle.  We value the empowerment of students to own their learning through:  

• Choice and Voice
• Motivation and Engagement
• Goal setting and progress monitoring 
• Autonomy
• Strength-based Decisions
