The WellSpring Curriculum
WellSpring features a strong academic program that is student- centered, experiential, and inter-disciplinary. Traditional in values, but distinctly contemporary in content, core subjects such as history, mathematics, language arts, and science are integrated with a rich cultural, arts, and environmental curriculum. Special attention to reading, writing, and study skills is provided within the context of the whole curriculum.

A Student-Centered Education means several things:

Each student's skill levels, personal interests, and special ways of processing information are taken into account when developing learning goals and outcomes;

Students are challenged in different subject areas depending on their abilities;

Students have the opportunity to express themselves in small, discussion-oriented classes;

Special attention is given to student progress and achievement.

Inter-disciplinary Curriculum
Each semester, WellSpring develops curriculum themes which integrate the different subject areas. Important concepts are more meaningful and relevant when they are considered from the perspective of different course subjects. At the end of each semester, students produce a significant literary work, visual art, multi-media or theater performance that captures the essence of their integrated studies.
