Making a craft for our visit to a Senior Citizen Home! A typical way to burn up energy! Another fun activity at Recess Time!

Wonderland Charter School continues to be a resounding success!  The children are learning and the parents are happy.  We did what we said we were going to do!  That is, develop and implement a Differentiated Education Plan for each and every child!  We have the entire range of children you would expect from a true cross-section of our community.  At the end of the school year, some children are reading and doing math above grade level (2nd to 4th grade).  The bottom line is that each and every child is progressing nicely according to their individual talents and potential! In each of the last nine years, the students mastered over 95% of their assigned objectives without stress!  This is phenomenal!  Our original goal was to master 85% of the objectives which had never been done before in the United States.  We attribute the success to a large part on having consistency and structure, 2 certified teachers in each room, the use of the DISTAR Curriculum for Reading, Math, and Language, plus the development of our own, unique database management system.  The system Wonderland Charter School developed allows us to assign and track each child's progress accurately and without stress on the students or the teachers.  In fact, during the last school year (SY 2006/2007), over 10,000 learning objectives were assigned to the collective student body of 34 students.  Our system allows the visibility teachers need to determine how a child is learning and whether or not that child needs extra help at a critical time.  This unique system was directly responsible for the children mastering over 95% of those assigned objectives! If you would like to talk directly to one of the parents who had a child attend Wonderland Charter School in the last few years, just let us know and we can give you several parents to contact.  In that way, you can get a parent's perspective on whether or not Wonderland Charter School is making a difference for their child!
