The Winston School San Antonio

This is for the 2nd review. My younger son had the same problem as review #1, so I enrolled him at WSSA. My 6th grader, however, did not have any learning problems but I felt it would be easier if both of my sons went to the same school. He loves it. The teacher/student ratio is what won me over. Observing the student body, I have noticed most of the students are your everyday ordinary kids. I think most of the parents who want that small classroom atmosphere, send their kids to this school.

This school is great. My son was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia and had a hard time in 1st grade in the public school system. I enrolled him at the Winston school in the 2nd grade and it was like night and day. He was excited about going to school, because there were other kids like him. He no longer felt alone in his learning differences and they understand him. His self-esteem and his level of understanding the work is now on track. The classroom sizes are small (5-10) kids have also made a difference. These are the most important years of a kids education.

Enrolling our son at Winston has been the best decision our family has made. Unlike our public school experience, Winston has focused on and nurtured his individual talents and needs. As an upcoming Senior and student at Winston for over 4 years, he has developed confidence and skills that will carry him throughout college and his career. Winston is focused on each student's individuality and provides them with opportunities for success. Winston has become a part of our family, and will continue to be for years to come. It is a great feeling to know that we've provided the best education and learning environment for our son, and to be assured that he will lead a happy and productive future because of his experiences at Winston.

I think the last poster needs to learn how to apply for tuition assistance like the rest of the Winston Parents do. I moved over 4000 miles to place my daughter in this school because she has ADHD and can not be in public schools because of it. She is by no means a gifted athlete but then again at this school, they all make the team and they all play.( this isn't public school where you have to make the cut!) Is it expensive? Yes, but then again, my daughter went from almost failing and being kicked out of classrooms to being a year ahead of her public school cousins and always gets A's and B's on the report cards. Maybe the last poster needs the education!

I would be very cautious enrolling your child in Winston. Especially if you are not wealthy. It is all about money and politics...if your child is not a star athlete or if you are not rich ...AND your child has severe disabilites such as ADHD this is NOT the place for him. I am actually in the process of having this school investigated. Just be aware that they do NOT have the children as a priority...it is MONEY.

Winston has allowed our child to finally have fun with learning. They build self esteem daily. The transformation in our child is nothing short of amazing in less than one year at Winston.

Winston has a talented staff that is dedicated to helping each child succeed. The school fosters an atmosphere of openness and tolerance that helps each child learn how to excel. Children are taught strategies for coping with their specific learning differences. Winston tailors education so children can get the help needed to bring them up to grade level in areas that are challenging for them while letting them set the pace in subject where they excel. This policy has given my son the opportunity to experience a sense of accomplishment in school that he had never experienced before attending Winston School.

This is a great school for children in need of extra supervision and assistance with learning differences. They learn self discipline and achieve organization skills while in a styctured and supervised setting that works with the parents and the students.
