At Windfield International School, every day is a journey of discovery. From the moment students arrive on campus to the time they head home, learning is happening everywhere — not just through books and lessons, but through play, collaboration, and thoughtful exploration. Here’s a look at a typical day in the life of a Windfield student.
Morning Arrival and Connection
The school day begins with warm greetings at the gate. Students are welcomed in both English and French, setting the tone for a bilingual environment. After putting away their bags and joining their classmates, they start the day with circle time — a moment to connect, share thoughts, and prepare mentally for the day ahead.
Engaged Learning in the Classroom
Mornings are typically dedicated to core academics. In bilingual classrooms, subjects such as literacy, numeracy, and science are taught through both languages using a dual-language approach. Teachers might begin a lesson in English and continue it in French, helping students make natural connections across languages.
Classrooms are alive with activity: children build, read, experiment, and create. Guided inquiry allows them to explore topics deeply, ask questions, and express their learning through drawings, writing, and presentations.
Outdoor Play and Physical Exploration
Recess and outdoor activities are key parts of the Windfield experience. Our campuses offer green spaces where children climb, run, and explore nature. Physical activity is balanced with mindfulness and social-emotional learning, helping children grow holistically.
Creative and Cultural Expression
In the afternoons, students participate in arts, music, or cultural workshops. These sessions provide space for creativity and celebrate the diverse backgrounds of our school community. Language continues to play a central role, with children singing songs in both English and French, and engaging in storytelling from around the world.
Community and Closure
The day ends with reflection. Students gather to talk about what they learned, what inspired them, and what they’re excited for tomorrow. It’s a moment of calm that reinforces their sense of belonging and achievement.
Conclusion
A day at Windfield is much more than a schedule of lessons — it’s a carefully designed experience that blends academic excellence with emotional growth, creative exploration, and multilingual communication. Through play and purpose, each child develops the skills and mindset to thrive today and tomorrow.
