WYCHWOOD SCHOOL

Wychwood School provides a strong classical liberal arts education for elementary school children in grades 1 to 8... At Wychwood, we don't praise children for their intelligence or the ease with which they learn new concepts and skills. We praise them for their effort, commitment to practice, and tenacity in the face of academic or athletic challenges. We view mistakes as opportunities for learning and foster this attitude in our students. These foundational educational commitments allow us to help students develop a mastery-oriented mindset- a practice based upon well-substantiated psychological and pedagogical research findings - that nourishes the development of internal motivation and resilience in the face of challenging new material. This orientation allows us to deliver a particularly enriching program for children in science and math, areas in which children sometimes assume that they are less capable of excelling than they are.
