Wanderwise

Writing and Speaking Classes

Excellent Writers Accomplish Great Things

We all understand the importance of developing advanced sports, music, and art skills for our children outside of school hours. But do we all consider the importance of developing advanced writing skills. After primary school, the art and craft of writing is emphasized less with each succeeding year as the requirements of subject materials take precedence in the classroom. Students should learn to write well in school, but there is no guarantee. We know it is easy for students to slip through the cracks. In truth, students should learn to write excellently, and there are few schools who teach students to do that. to write excellently, students must practice and get regular constructive feedback.

Here, you can be sure that your children will be getting the writing practice and coaching they need to to become high impact writers.

What is Wanderwise?

Combine the ideas wander and wise. When we wander, we take a journey. We should know the destination, but we do not intend to taking the most direct route there. While wandering, we make different turns, and maybe linger in some places longer than anticipated. But if we are wise, we are absorbing what we are experiencing, and learning. We reflect on our own beliefs and expectations, and we see what reality holds for us. We become wanderwise.

To become skilled writers and critical thinkers, we must first develop a deep understanding and appreciation of ourselves and the world around us. We instill within ourselves a love for learning and a willingness to question assumptions, challenge norms, and pursue knowledge with curiosity and openness.

Vision & Mission

Vision: In our supportive and intellectually stimulating setting, students flourish as articulate, reflective, and critical thinkers, seeing the world anew through the profound influence of writing. This evolution empowers them to lead with creativity and insight, shaping a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

Mission: Empowering thoughtful, critical expression through transformative writing.

Transform Your Journey

We are all travelers on a transformative journey. We all possess the ability to gain wisdom as we follow our paths, and we have the potential for growth and change.

However, we do not all equally possess the tools or skills needed to navigate both the external world and our complex inner landscapes. Sometimes we just don't know what or why things are happening, and we don't have the time to understand what is going on.

To make sense of our journey, we need the skills to think critically and tell our story. These are like the foundation. With the foundation in place and the scaffolding built, we can learn to communicate effectively and contribute positively to society. People who can think critically and communicate well become shining lights for others to follow.

I had to travel far to make sense of my journey. But it's not necessary that you do so, too. Each of our journey's we experience one day at a time. Adventures are everywhere around us when we look and see.

* The smiley face in the page footer on all these pages is my trademark face that I make on students' papers when they write something really well for me. It takes a real good effort from a student to get my written (or typed) smiley face.
