We’ve already launched hundreds of hours of lessons, thousands of multiple choice questions, and our patent-pending Mistake Bank feature with schools and charities around the country. While we work diligently to complete the platform’s other innovative features (Practice Test Proctoring, Mix’em Up, Friends Connection, Parent Portal, and more), we’re providing a special introductory offer.

Teaching Models
Schools implement three main approaches when integrating Winward Academy into their curriculum.
Dedicated Class
The KIPP network of charter schools offers a seminar class, and each day students access laptops and headphones in class to complete lessons. The role of the teacher is to motivate students and oversee their completion of work, but all instruction is delivered through the Winward Academy platform.
Integration Into Class
Private and public schools have integrated the lessons into their math curriculum (Algebra through Pre-Calc.), using lessons during class time and having students watch lessons when they miss school for illness or athletics. These schools have found that Winward Academy lessons are a great complement to classroom instruction by both keeping students on track and taking pressure off teachers when students need to make up work.
After-School Support
After-school tutoring programs have students do lessons on computers with a teacher circulating to answer questions if they arise. This approach replaces a teacher-only after school program in which the teachers felt overwhelmed trying to help 30+ students with different needs. An additional benefit of this model is the reliability and consistency of lessons with a resource that’s always accessible and accurate in explanations.
