Wingra School is a small, independent day school providing a progressive education for children ages 5-14 in the greater Madison area. The school was founded in 1972 by parents and teachers seeking a high quality educational experience alternative for their own and others' children. The founders - five women with considerable experience in fields of education and child development- were particulary influenced by a version of progressive education.
Wingra School has always featured a thematic, integrated curriculum and multi-aged classrooms equipped with materials appropriate to children's varied interests and abilities.
