Secondary

The years between 11 and 18 are not primarily academic years. They are identity years. Children are working out who they are, what they're good at, what matters to them.

The WISS Difference

University Readiness

University Readiness

Students learn traditional subjects by linking them to global and local issues with solutions, building the research and critical-thinking skills needed for university.

Mentorship

Mentorship

Each student has a mentor who supports their physical and mental well-being. Teachers guide students as they set future goals and grow through meaningful mentoring relationships.

Integrated Learning

Integrated Learning

Learning across math, science, art, and language links real-world concepts instead of teaching topics in isolation. Blending subjects makes learning feel more useful and closer to everyday life.
