After School Program
If you are an older or elder student you are welcome to stay after school
on Thursday evenings to get some extra support with school work. Please
see Mr. Cliff or Mrs. Foster if you'd like to participate. They will
be at school from 3:35-5:30.
"The most striking feature of successful school [is] their willingness
and ability to adapt all school practices to students' individual differences
in cognitive, biological and social maturation." (Manning)

Students and Families Come First!
Kids here can make mistakes without feeling like they’ll be judged harshly
or beaten down.
We believe family time is precious, so the only homework kids have is
nightly reading.
WVMS caters to the unique needs of each individual student.
The old-school, segregated approach to schooling focused more on the group
than on the individual. In fact, if you were singled out for anything,
it was considered a negative.
There are at least five distinctly different learning styles in children,
but the old-school approach to teaching doesn’t account for that. They
simply impart the knowledge on kids and then expect them to absorb it
and reproduce it on a test.
The creative structure at WVMS is designed to accommodate all types of
learning. The kids are free to tackle projects however they can. For some
that means reading quietly in a corner. For others, it means brainstorming
with fellow students.
