Explore the Wildwood Academy Experience
At Wildwood Academy, our emergent curriculum and project-based learning approach are seamlessly woven together to create a dynamic, student-driven education. Rather than following a rigid plan, learning unfolds organically as teachers observe students’ interests and guide them toward meaningful, hands-on projects. Whether building a community garden, running a small business, or researching local ecosystems, students engage deeply in real-world explorations that integrate multiple subjects. This approach fosters curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking—empowering children to take ownership of their learning and develop the skills needed to navigate and impact the world around them.
Emergent Curriculum and Project Based Learning
At Wildwood Academy, we ignite Curious Minds and nurture Wild Hearts, cultivating a vibrant, child-centered community where learning is an adventure driven by the wonder and passion of each child. Guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, Project-Based Learning, and Cognitively Guided Instruction, we envision students who are confident, creative, and compassionate—lifelong learners who shape their education through inquiry and exploration. Our dynamic, emergent curriculum weaves literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies into hands-on, real-world experiences, sparking deep engagement and critical thinking.
We inspire a love of language through Dynamic Literacy, empowering students to read, write, and express themselves with purpose and joy. In mathematics, we foster resilient problem-solvers who embrace challenges with flexibility and collaboration. Through quarterly studies, we connect learning to community, ecology, entrepreneurship, and nature, fueling curiosity and a sense of responsibility to the world.
Our school thrives on partnership—students, families, and educators unite to create an inclusive, supportive environment where every voice matters. With L. Ron Hubbard’s Study Technology, we ensure mastery and confidence, equipping each child to apply knowledge with clarity and courage. At Wildwood Academy, Curious Minds ask bold questions, and Wild Hearts care deeply—for their learning, their community, and the planet—preparing them to lead with empathy, resilience, and a boundless spirit of discovery.
