About us

Since its founding in 2017, the Winthrop Park School has offered programs for teachers and students with a focus on fostering educational innovation and opportunity. 

Three essential outcomes

At WPS, we take an "education everywhere" approach. We work to develop learning ecosystems characterized by connected communities, empowered learners, and unbounded schooling.  

Catalyzing the shift to "Education Everywhere"

We advance models of schooling where learning thrives everywhere, in classrooms and beyond; where students and their families are empowered to shape their own educational journeys; and where entire communities contribute to the development of young people. 

Three Essential Outcomes

connected
communities

  • Schools, community organizations, workplaces and other institutions collaborate to unlock new learning opportunities, recognizing that involvement in education is a shared responsibility.​

     
  • When education is embedded in the community, students get involved in real-world challenges and discover innovative solutions, finding greater meaning and purpose at school. 
  • This dynamic exchange also extends the relevance and impact of community institutions.

Empowered

Learners

  • Students co-create their educational goals, make meaningful choices, and shape their learning experiences.
     
  • As students progress from passive participants to active leaders of their own learning, they gain a deeper sense of agency and responsibility, and educators, in turn, become partners and coaches, responsive to students’ evolving needs.
     
  • This collaborative approach cultivates an educational culture where students and adults alike grow together.

Unbounded Futures

  • Learning opportunities both in and out of school invite students to discover their strengths and interests, explore diverse post-secondary pathways, and build durable skills
     
  • Learning prepares students not just for specific careers, but for a lifetime of personal and professional growth.
     
  • With multiple routes forward, students encounter possibilities where once there were limits, gaining the adaptability to thrive and contribute in an evolving world.
