Wellness

Windward encourages a healthy lifestyle by offering fresh foods and nutritious meal options at Windward's Pavilion dining facility, which is conducive to both training and learning of any kind.

Studies show that rest can play a critical role in peak performance, particularly for adolescents. Starting in the fall of 2015, Windward implemented one "late start" day per week, allowing students a bit of breathing room to catch up on sleep and study mid-week.

Windward's dynamic programs seek to maximize student engagement while providing a nurturing environment to support growth. In 2012, Windward began working with the Challenge Success Program, a project of Stanford's Graduate School of Education. Windward's Challenge Success team, comprised of faculty, students, and administrators, leads ongoing work in an attempt to increase engagement at all grade levels without also increasing the pressures that students already perceive in their lives.
