Mission Statement:
The Wyndcroft School is a coeducational elementary day school for children in Early Childhood through Eight. The mission of the school is to offer a rigorous academic program enabling the child to establish a firm foundation for a happy and successful future with confidence to succeed in an ever-evolving world.
The curriculum is traditional and designed to develop the whole child. It emphasizes fundamental skill instruction, character development, and the pursuit of excellence in English, history, mathematics, science, foreign languages, and the arts.
In a small class setting the school endeavors to provide a safe, nurturing environment fostering creativity, a love of learning, personal integrity, determination, and respect for others.
School History: Nineteen-eighteen reflected a growing concern within the educational community to provide not only for academic excellence, but also to provide for the healthful wellbeing of a child. In the midst of nationwide epidemics of measles, mumps, flu and tuberculosis, a few parents in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, members of the prestigious Hill School faculty, chose to provide a superior education for their younger children by founding a progressive "open-air" school. So began Wyndcroft's first incarnation in the sunlit porches and an open garage of a residence on the Hill School campus under the name of "The Pottstown Open Air School."
The Wyndcroft School flourished and by 1925 consisted of 50 pupils and 5 teachers. The buildings soon expanded to include "five outdoor bungalows, a school building with a large assembly room, office, classroom, [and] well-equipped kitchen and dining-room where the children have their noon meal."
