Benefits for
Student Learning

Reduced Class Sizes

Smaller class sizes give students more opportunity to share their voices and receive more individual feedback on their work.

More Full-Time Faculty

Having multiple teachers in each subject area will also allow for increased collegiality and lesson-plan sharing to enhance instruction and ensure best practices within the discipline.

Enhanced Instructional Excellence

With two sections of each course, teachers will be able to focus on fewer preparations each day to create even more engaging, rigorous learning activities, and improve their instructional practice.

Honors Sections in Core Courses

The present model at WSS requires students of mixed ability levels to be in the same class, which does have some benefits, but ultimately limits how much the high-achieving students can accomplish in a school year.

More Flexible Social Groupings

The constant ability to mix and match students between two sections would keep classes fluid and dynamic, which ultimately would enrich the students’ academic and social experience.

AUDITORIUM GATHERING SPACE

A spacious and high-tech auditorium will allow for our entire school to gather for community-building events and special presentations.
