WRA is most like a home-school program. We provide the materials and the at-home learning coach provides the support, monitoring of student progress, submission of assignments, and proctoring of students. Think of the learning-coach role as the classroom teacher monitoring students during work time.

WRA is a K-12 alternative learning school within the Ridgefield School District. We serve families and students looking for a flexible and individualized learning experience. Our goal is to provide opportunities for students to learn in a non-traditional format with their family and our teachers for support.

We are a state approved school that meets the same academic standards and graduation requirements as in-person learning. WRA uses online learning platforms to allow students and families to access their work on their own schedule.

In addition to the online learning, we offer in-person sessions with our RSD teachers. These 1.5 hour ‘enrichment sessions’ allow for student interaction and social emotional learning support. We use this time to focus on student driven project based learning that allows for hands on activities and enhancement of the online curriculum. Past projects completed include: geometry city, individual board game creation and marketing, egg drop science project, art and math tessellation, and more.
