A Closer Look

Differentiated Instruction at WHPS

Differentiated instruction is the cornerstone of our educational philosophy and the foundation of everything we do. Many families choose our school for this individualized approach and often see its impact through tangible results, like their child’s leadership notebook, reading growth, or published writing. Yet, the process of personalizing learning in the classroom can sometimes be misunderstood.

Here’s a closer look at some key strategies that help bring this philosophy to life:

It’s Not One Thing—It’s Everything

When formative assessments, consistent routines, SMART goals, ZPD, and collaborative classroom groupings come together, they create more than just a set of strategies—they form the backbone of an exceptional learning experience.

This seamless integration empowers students to set meaningful goals, reflect on their progress, and take ownership of their learning journey. From building strong foundational skills in Lower Elementary to exploring advanced opportunities in Upper Elementary, our program provides every student with the tools and confidence to grow, achieve, and thrive—both in school and beyond.
