What is a typical day like at Westside Neighborhood School?

A day at WNS is anything but ordinary. Students start with community-building activities like morning meetings or advisory, then dive into hands-on academics in small classes that prioritize collaboration and creativity. You’ll find kids coding, painting, dissecting, debating—and maybe even singing—all before lunch. Afternoons are filled with enrichment: art, music, PE, innovation labs, and clubs. Whether it’s a science experiment or a student council meeting, every moment at WNS is designed to challenge the mind and nurture the heart. It’s structured enough to support students, but flexible enough to let curiosity lead the way. In short, it’s a day that kids look forward to—and often don’t want to leave when it’s over.
