A Message from the Principal

A Message from the Principal

Wildwood is a wall-to-wall International Baccalaureate (IB) school offering the Primary Years and Middle Years Programmes through magnet lottery and attendance-boundary enrollment. Wildwood offers Spanish in Grades PreK-8 and has a focus on the arts (visual art and music). Inquiry, student discourse, and cross-curricular instruction are core components of the instructional program. We focus on a student-centered approach that elevates collaboration and problem-solving, rooted in a deep commitment to social-emotional learning for all students.
