Wildwood School
Wildwood was founded as an elementary school in 1971, by a group of parents led by a young lawyer named Belle Mason.[2] The elementary school curriculum focuses on guiding young students as they gain confidence and agility in reading, writing, mathematics, social studies, and science."The Habits" are derived from a national organization known as the Coalition of Essential Schools and focus on the student as a person in addition to an academic.Rather, Wildwood students demonstrate their cumulative learning through hour long presentations known as "Gateways" at the end of 8th and 10th grade.The conferences seek to address the student's academic and social development, and constitutes planning and goals for the future.The mission of the Outreach Center is to support the creation, development, and enhancement of small, personalized, learner-centered schools in Southern California and throughout the nation.As a result, Wildwood's Outreach Center has held numerous professional development workshops educating public school teachers and administrators on the elements of successful small schools including, Advisory Programs, Project-Based Learning, Habits of Mind and Heart and Portfolios and Exhibitions.Students of all ages have had opportunities to act, assistant direct, stage manage, and work on technical elements such as lighting and sound design.At the middle and upper school campus, there is a gallery space, in which students have an opportunity to curate shows of their artwork for anyone who walks in to see.These include Technical Theater, filmmaking, Creative Writing, Government and Politics, and Advanced Topics in Math and Science.
