  amazing stories about the teachers and we stay because the teachers
  are amazing!”​
• It’s Free – No Registration Fees​
• Parents, guardians and students say, “We love the blended program – we
  take two courses and PE at Windsor Park School and we complete the rest
  of our program in our own way – best of both worlds.”​

  Learn. This can be a good way to “try out” online learning.​

  intramural games in the gym at lunchtime, friends, feel safe and cared for,
  Theatre Production, Business Fair, Cross-Country Running Team, Badminton
