The Winston School's Activities Program
Winston's students have many abilities and interests to discover and develop during their time in school, including those that reach beyond their academic experience.
Last year, Winston designed an activity program to allow students more opportunities to explore their interests through clubs and extracurricular activities. Goals of the program include:
- planting the seeds of future hobbies or academic or professional interests;
- making the experience of schooling more fun, positive and relaxing;
- enhancing social skills and motivation;
- building community by bringing students together across age groups and with staff members they might not otherwise interact with in a given week.
All Middle and High School students are expected to participate in activities and students are graded on a pass-fail basis for effort and participation. Students in the Elementary School have a modified Activity Program that is developed as the year progresses. This year we will be offering activities on a double-marking period rotation so we are not constantly scheduling and putting together new rosters for the program.
The following activities are examples of those offered last year.
