The traditional academic model is obsolete, and yet people have continued to succeed with or without school. At Win Room School House we have pulled the secrets of success into an exciting educational culture available to all students and families.
Win Room School House boosts confidence by inspiring students to set and achieve goals, setting their own pace for life-long learning.
While students in the public school system struggle to find relevance in their education, Win Room members are not only prepared for the future, but they are allowed to succeed.

Success Scholarships Needed
|
At Win Room School House, we believe every student deserves the chance to thrive in an environment that celebrates confidence, independence, and life-long learning.
We currently have a student ready to begin their Win Room journey — but they need a Success Scholarship to make it possible. This is where our community comes in. Unlike traditional donations to a nonprofit, your support here goes directly to helping a student access an education that works. Think of it as sponsorship with an immediate, life-changing impact. How You Can Help
Your sponsorship gives students the freedom to set their own pace, discover their strengths, and achieve more than they imagined. If you’ve ever wished school could be different — here’s your opportunity to make it happen! |

How Win Room School House Works
Self-Directed Learning
Self-Directed Learning
Students begin their membership with an informal interview to map out their interests, ambitions and goals. Guides function more like Life Coaches than like Teachers, and assist in creating a plan to reach these goals. Upon arrival and departure each day, students notate their progress in their Success Journals. The Success Journal is a tool that can be used immediately and into adulthood to achieve goals and measure personal success.
Students are grouped K-5th grade with up to 10 students per teacher. With the age span, students become teachers and practice partners.
Students are encouraged to have 2 to 4 hours per day of learning time. Students and parents are allowed to create their own best schedule with flexible arrival and departure times. Students may take advantage of the extended day and bank “vacation” time or advance into the next grade level.

Relevance
Relevance
When a student reviews his/her goals each day the curriculum needs to be relevant. At Win Room School House students are learning the foundational basics of writing, reading and math in order to track and reach their goals. Members propel into learning art, language, science and more, as these topics apply to their interests

Success Mentors
Success Mentors
We believe that students are positively influenced by spending time with successful community mentors. Each student is matched with a mentor who exhibits a level of success in finances, physical health, and/or emotional well-being. Our mentors keep us connected to the community and ensure that Win Room School House students are equipped with the knowledge, skills and connections to be successful this year and into adulthood.
Mentors: Students spend time with their Success Mentors at school and in the community, sharing ideas, working on projects, and even getting on-the-job training.

Students are interviewed upon enrollment and throughout the year so staff and mentors have a clear understanding of interests, goals, strengths and weaknesses, and how best to encourage and assist. The Interview also ensures educational benchmarks are being met.
