TESTIMONIALS

What I appreciate most is the exceptional communication between parents and staff. The lines of communication are always open, and the staff is willing to assist us whenever needed. The school has also implemented new computer programs that have significantly helped the children succeed. For the first time, I am witnessing improvements in my daughter’s math, writing, and problem-solving skills. Additionally, we receive monthly reports mailed out to our home, keeping us informed of our child's progress. Mr. Josh, the director, is simply amazing. He dedicates time during his weekends to send newsletters to families, which I find extremely beneficial.

Wyncote Academy continues to be a blessing to our family. My son started his academic career in the public school system. We knew that he had difficulty reading. Initially, a private evaluation stated that his difficulties probably were due to being an English as Second Language student. Numerous IEPs proved to be unsuccessful. I made my son a promise that I'd find the key that would unlock the door to the way he learned. My son was diagnosed as having severe dyslexia. I was able to keep my promise to my son by enrolling him in Wyncote Academy. Wyncote Academy has an excellent Wilson Reading Program. The Head of School, as well as all of the teachers are dedicated to the students and are excellent representatives of their profession.

I love Wyncote Academy. My son was having difficulty in the Philadelphia public school due to the over-crowded classrooms. He wears hearing aids in both ears so that was a problem. Now that he is at Wyncote with smaller classes he is doing great.

So much of current educational practice focuses on addressing what's wrong with students and what needs to be fixed. While addressing deficits is important, we believe that true learning begins with the recognition of one's talents and strengths. Building upon these personal traits is the starting point for authentic education and meaningful connection with others. This strengths-based approach defines the Wyncote Academy experience.
