The following is just a sampling of the resources we have:
The Windsor School and Windsor Learning Center has two state programs for classified
students, making a difference in alternative education for students who
have Attention Deficit Disorder and behavioral concerns. Academic achievement, community service,
athletics, advanced computer technology, and mainstreaming are realities for Windsor
students. With two locations in Pompton Lakes, servicing more than 160 students
from kindergarten through eight grade.
The Windsor School and Windsor Learning Center
programs feature a strong structured behavior modification
system, counseling and parental communications to provide quality education
and build academic achievement and self-esteem in children with a history of
failure and conflict in school.
We believe any child, despite their present behavior and social background,
wants acceptance, achievement, knowledge and the ability to interact well
with others. Our challenge is finding the key that unlocks the individual
potential of each student in a warm, nurturing environment that allows their
potential to flourish.
Each student has behaved in ways that prohibited them from functioning in the
public schools. Through a persistent system of positive reinforcement,
The Windsor School and Windsor Learning Center
can reach our primary goal: the improvement of the educational
and social functioning of each student with successful reintegration into the
public schools as the ultimate objective.
Leading edge technology is apparent at
The Windsor School and Windsor Learning Center. Computers in
classrooms and labs have Internet access. A state of the art network connects
all computers and wireless laptop computers. Additionally all students
utilize alpha smart word processors to further enhance their critical writing
skills. All teachers receive in-service training in computer education.
Windsor also has computer specialists tutoring each child as part of their
program.
Inclusion is our mission! Many Windsor students are returning to their home
school district and performing well. Behavior modification is achieved by
stressing the rewards of academic diligence and good conduct via a student
ranking system with graduated privileges including athletic, other
extracurricular, and community service activities.
Our counseling program features group and small group sessions for personal
problem solving and building self-esteem. In group counseling sessions,
students learn the value of team work, respect for others and the achievement
of reaching a common goal. Social skills are constantly reinforced.
The Windsor School and Windsor Learning Center
features community service activities fostering and strengthening
self-esteem and confidence.
A consistent approach, individualized academics,
positive reinforcement, and a supportive nurturing environment allows for our
students to reintegrate into the public school system successfully.
