Dear WPS Community,


Earlier this week, we are thrilled to introduce you to the Laker Learner Concentration Program, innovative pathways that cater to individual passions and aspirations for our high school students graduating in the Class of 2026 and beyond. With the addition of the Laker Learner Concentration Program, our high school students now have the opportunity to shape their educational journey through three distinct pathways:


  • WPS Diploma: Our WPS Diploma empowers students with voice and choice, allowing them to navigate high school while meeting graduation requirements and maintaining a diverse curriculum and preparing them for university.
  • Laker Learner Concentration Diploma: For those with a passion in specific areas such as STEM, Fine Arts, and Social Impact and Leadership, our Laker Learner Concentration Program is designed to blend academic excellence with a focused exploration. This pathway enables students to complete required classes, while delving deep into their chosen concentration.
  • IB Diploma: Students can opt for the globally-recognized International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, offering a well-rounded education with a focus on critical thinking, developing future-ready skills, and preparing to earn entry to prestigious colleges. All IB Diploma students also have the option of choosing a Laker Learner Concentration with the exception of Fine Arts.

Our commitment is to provide each student with a specialized pathway, aligning with their passion and equipping them with the tools to reach their aspirational destinations and future careers. Windermere Preparatory School is not just a place of learning; it's a platform for personal and academic growth


In order to better understand our new concentration program and how this relates to the Class of 2026’s upcoming course scheduling, all Rising 11th Graders will receive an invitation from our High School and College Counseling Department to join us for an informational webinar on Tuesday, April 9th at 6:00 PM. Please expect a separate email invitation with the link to join the webinar in your inbox. 


We look forward to embarking on this exciting journey with our students as we continue to foster a dynamic and enriching educational experience.
