Welcome and thank you for visiting the Wenonah School’s web page.  Wenonah is a suburban community nestled in the center of Gloucester County. The school offers a rainbow of services ranging from kindergarten through sixth grade. There are two classes per grade and the class sizes are traditionally small. The average class size is 20, which allows for more personal and individualized instructional programs for each student. This optimal learning environment has proven beneficial to the students who continue to strive to meet and exceed New Jersey’s standards of proficiency. 

The alignment of the New Jersey Core Curriculum standards to our curriculum is an on-going and progressive process. We utilize a discovery-oriented approach to our Science and Mathematics instruction. This problem centered approach to investigate and understand mathematical and science content has enabled our students to become more proficient at investigating and discovering science. By empowering the students to develop problem solving skills we enable them to realize the potential usefulness of science and mathematics in their lives. 

We currently utilize a Language Arts Literacy block. The entire school has integrated reading, writing, spelling, listening and speaking into their daily lessons. Writing pre and post prompts have been established for use as writing assessments. 

Grades K-4 are self-contained and grades 5^th & 6^th are departmentalized. Physical education, art, Spanish, technology and music are taught by our specialists. Health is taught by our school nurse. 

Parent involvement and community partnership have been critical to our success here at Wenonah. We view our parents and community as partners whose vital role enhances our mission to shape each child’s educational program and social development. Parents are actively engaged in many of the activities in the school. They play a vital role in supporting the efforts of our professional staff. As a community centered school, we value the partnerships that we have built with our parents and know that involving all the stakeholders makes for a better school. The Wenonah School values its relationships with all of its constituents. We have developed and established a positive, healthy, learning-centered environment with the community. The stakeholders recognize and acknowledge the consistent quality education that is provided by the staff on a daily basis. 

We strive each day to build on our success and deliver the best instruction to our children. Striving toward educational excellence is the challenge we face each and every day. It is a benchmark we have, and will continue to achieve!  I hope you enjoy your virtual tour of the Wenonah School.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
