Learning shaped around every child

Teaching at Open Wings focuses on the whole child, with each student's strengths, challenges, and needs in mind. We draw children in by incorporating their interests into a learning environment rich in the arts, technology, and community connections.

While we keep a close eye on state and national education standards, we benchmark our students and create plans based on their own progress. We have seen significant, measurable growth in past and current students, and we have more than a decade of experience helping families thrive.

Open Wings serves children whose needs are not met in traditional settings due to constraints like large class sizes and rigid curricular pacing. Our neurodiversity-affirming approach welcomes neurodiverse students with autism, ADHD, learning disabilities including dyslexia, sensory processing differences, anxiety, language delays, and pervasive developmental disorders, along with their siblings and friends. Families come to our Kenosha and Glendale campuses from across southeastern Wisconsin, the Milwaukee area, and northern Illinois.

Students learn by doing: collaborating with educators and one another to construct knowledge, and engaging as active community members beyond our walls.
