WMS@Home - Distance Learning

If a COVID-19-related campus closure becomes necessary, Wilmington Montessori School is ready to implement home learning plans for students in kindergarten through middle school. We can quickly transition to individualized, high-quality online instruction. We also have a cohort of students whose families have opted into virtual learning for the 2020-21 school year.

With daily class meetings, one-on-one virtual conferences, small group lessons and a curriculum that allows students to continue to engage in hands-on experiential learning in their homes, WMS remains connected as a learning community even when we're physically separated.

Home Learning Plans - Overview by Level

Lower Elementary (6-9) Program
Upper Elementary (9-12) & Middle School Programs

Lower Elementary (6-9) Program

In the Lower Elementary Program, students are able to work more independently than our younger students. They look forward to the daily connections they make with their classmates via Zoom meetings for the class as a whole, including attending specials/enrichment programs.

As they do in the classroom, students use daily work plans, completing assignments that cover all areas of the curriculum. Students use programs Khan Academy for math assignments and work on long-term projects as they would in the classroom.

Upper Elementary (9-12) & Middle School Programs

For Upper Elementary and Middle School students, the move to home learning plans required less adjustment than our younger students. While our oldest students are missing their daily face-to-face interactions with friends and teachers, they are accustomed to working independently and completing assignments using Google Classroom. At both of these levels, students meet as a class each morning, and then move onto more individualized schedules, including specials/enrichment classes.
