Advisory

Wildwood School is distinguished by its internationally recognized Advisory program, which begins in 5th grade and deepens in content and engagement throughout middle and upper school. Advisory offers a structured curriculum that integrates academic support, team building, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging programs, community involvement, and activities that incorporate higher-level thinking and communication skills. 

Students develop supportive relationships with adults they trust, as well as with their peers. These strongly established connections are foundational to progressing from elementary through middle and upper as academic rigor increases and social networks evolve. The small advisory group setting, consisting of approximately 10-12 students, is a natural incubator where norms are established and students can try out new ideas and explore their own identities. In the process, they cultivate a sense of self—academically, emotionally, and socially.
