Wonder is a state of curiosity — a perpetual desire to discover and do something new. As a school, Wonder is a belief that every child that walks through our doors has the ability to find a calling and change the world.

We believe that education is preparation for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. And for today’s learners, what lies ahead is a future that is drastically different than the world we live in now. Learners today will be responsible for creating that future, and to be prepared for that task, how and what they learn must transform to meet those challenges. We’ve created Wonder for that reason. To help learners find their calling and prepare them to thrive in a rapidly changing world. We do this by challenging them to take ownership in their learning and to put it into practice by solving complex real-world problems using critical thinking, creation, collaboration, and innovation.

We seek to help bring up a generation of doers — leaders, creators, innovators, inventors, and discoverers.

what we believe

our approach

Our studios are designed with an understanding that ability is not determined by age and that in an open environment, learners naturally learn from other learners with different interests, skills, and ability levels.

mixed ages

Wonders focus on solving real-world problems, pressing issues that reflect the world around us. These projects bring together multiple disciplines and engage learners by allowing each to focus on areas of individual interest and ability.

projects with purpose

At Wonder, our learners have the opportunity to learn at their own pace, allowing them to excel quickly in areas of strength and take the time to learn thoroughly before moving on in others. This allows each learner to continually be challenged by their work.

mastery focused

We believe that young people are capable of far more than they are tasked with today. By challenging learners to independently set and attain personal learning goals, with a long-term orientation, they gain ownership in their work and are able to realize their true potential.
