Individualized programs to help students reach their full potential

Wildwood Academy is a charitable, not-for-profit elementary school in Oakville specifically designed to meet the needs of students who need Individualized Educational Programs. As a special education school, Wildwood utilizes personalized learning pathways and individually tailored schedules to help students achieve academic and social success. Wildwood uses Direct Instruction Programs and skill-leveled groupings to teach students with dyslexia, ADHD, executive functioning challenges, autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, anxiety, and other exceptionalities. Each subject placement reflects the student’s learning level, allowing students to progress through academics at their own pace. Classrooms are designed for academic and emotional support, with small class sizes (average 4-8 students) providing an intimate and encouraging learning environment for every student. With proven teaching methods for effective learning, supportive technology, adaptive groupings, pace-based progression, and emotional intelligence curriculum, Wildwood closes gaps in student knowledge and build students’ confidence in their own ability to learn.  Wildwood enrollment begins in Grade 2 and continues through to Grade 8.

Mission

At Wildwood Academy, we believe that every child can learn when presented with an environment and instructional practices that meet their needs. Our mission is to facilitate academic success and social emotional well-being for every Wildwood student.

Vision

We teach students from where they are learning. Through small class sizes, placement based on academic assessments, and school wide initiatives, we create an environment of success and learning.
