Wagon Wheel School, Inc.

The Wagon Wheel School experience is centered around creativity and cultural awareness.  Teachers introduce shapes, colors, basic math concepts and letter recognition through a wide variety of creative art and science projects.  Weekly music classes and dance classes, and a multitude of cultural and musical events enrich their learning experience.  Children are encouraged to be independent thinkers and problem solvers and to express themselves.  There is a special emphasis on promoting self-esteem, and helping students express their needs through words.  This is achieved in a variety of ways, for example, every Monday morning the children have Show & Tell to teach them how to speak in front of a group and every Wednesday morning one of the eight classes performs for the school and their parents.  In the higher grades there is a stronger emphasis on academics based on a recognition that there is an obligation prepare the children scholastically for their future schools and any testing that they may be required to do.
