Student Support
The Windward School understands that achieving academic competence alone is not enough for our students. To help prepare them to return to mainstream education, we also provide them with opportunities for social and emotional growth. Windward offers special programs for lower and middle school students that are specifically designed to help them. They include programs that:
- Understand and manage their emotions
- Develop friendships and manage social situations
- Develop empathy for others
- Understand how they learn
- Learn how to advocate for themselves
- Boost their self-confidence and build self-esteem
- Succeed socially and academically in a mainstream environment
