We are UNIQUE

  • We celebrate diversity, including a mix of San Diego students who learn in different ways and at different paces.
  • We recognize that students have strengths, understanding and passion in particular areas.
  • We understand students find some academic skills very challenging but may be advanced in others.

Students feel safe and confident in our nurturing learning environment.

We are DEDICATED

  • We respect that the student is the central actor in their own education.
  • We believe in our students and foster self-confidence.
  • We encourage students to persevere, building persistence and resilience.
  • We help to unlock student motivation and potential.
  • We identify the needs and appropriate expectations of each student.
  • We hold reasonable expectations that, despite learning differences, each student can and will grow academically, socially, emotionally and ethically, and have a chance to attend college if offered a flexible approach.

I am so thankful and grateful for The Winston School and all that they provide every day. My daughter now has a wonderful future ahead of her thanks to Winston.
