Admission to Wingra School

Wingra's admission process is designed so that the school, parents, and student applicant become well enough acquainted to decide whether Wingra is an appropriate environment for the child. Wingra School Director Joyce Perkins is available to give tours, arrange for classroom observation, answer questions, and help families with the admissions process. To arrange an appointment with Joyce, call the school at (608) 238-2525.

Open houses

The next Open House will be in January, 2009. The entire family is welcome to explore our school, enjoy refreshments, participate in hands-on activities, and meet our teachers and staff.

Classroom observation

Parents of prospective students may observe in classrooms.  Because we have so many visitors, however, we limit observations to those who already have preliminary knowledge about our philosophy and program. Classroom observations may be scheduled by calling Wingra's Administrative Secretary Elizabeth Garcia at (608) 238-2525. On arriving, parents report to the school office, Room 104A, on the first floor where the head of school will meet them.

Classroom visits by prospective students aged seven and older can be arranged, following application, as part of the admissions process.  Pre-application visits may be made by students to the three oldest classrooms (9 to 13 year olds) and should be scheduled with the administrative secretary.  Generally we ask that parents observe first and then arrange follow-up visits for their children.

Talk to Wingra parents

Wingra parents are great sources of information and can give insight and understanding that a tour or written material may not. Call Wingra's Administrative Secretary, Elizabeth Garcia, at (608) 238-2525 for parent names and phone numbers.
