THE LETTER W:
BUSINESS PREPARATORY PROGRAMThe Letter W is an always-evolving education company that utilizes designers and tourism to learn from and participate in local economies. As designers, we don't strive to be the best, we aim to be better. Our goal of being better has no endpoint, which means we have to nurture and train our replacements. As educators, we don't strive to have the answers, we aim to ask the questions. Our inquisition has no endpoint, which means we seek out new sources of mystery. Empowering, inspiring and guiding children to think, create and solve! |
PREPARING CHILDREN FOR THE REAL WORLD

THE LETTER W PRIVATE ACADEMY
Welcome to The Letter W, a private academy founded by a local mom-preneur seeking to provide a relevant and engaging education for her child. The Letter W engages students, parents and community businesses in the setting and implementation of educational and life goals. The school balances resources of parents and the community to offer an affordable education alternative. If you're tired of searching for the same old school with the same old results--you're in the right place!
PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY
Using concepts of Positive Deviance, students and parents are given the tools and inspiration to create their own curriculum, which may include the basics like learning how to read, and the more complex like starting a business or generating revenue. We believe that solutions cannot be discovered until problems or goals are first established. We believe that solutions work best from a bottom-up approach versus a top-down administrative method. We believe all children inherently love to learn!
THINKERS (STUDENTS)
We don't refer to them as students at The Letter W, but as problem-solvers, thinkers, and creators!
We are currently enrolling Thinkers ages 4-12 who have a passion for playing and learning at the same time!
GUIDES (PARENTS)Parents are an integral part of The Letter W's cooperative style of guiding and inspiring children.
We are currently seeking Guides with flexible work schedules who can share up to 80 hours each school year.
MENTORS (BUSINESSES)Community businesses offer relevance to our program by showing real-world examples of success and solutions.
We are currently seeking Downtown San Antonio businesses that can mentor a Thinker for part of the year.
