Diamond View Elementary School Competitors

The Parkside School welcomes elementary school children from diverse ethnic, social and economic backgrounds who have a range of language-based learning difficulties. We serve the whole child by offering a thoughtfully designed, comprehensive array of academic and support services. Our goal is to enable our students to pursue learning in their areas of strength, to acquire tools and strategies to progress in their areas of challenge and to develop respect and understanding for themselves and others.

BlueSky was one of Minnesota's first online high schools to serve students in grades 6-12.

Most licensed staff work remotely from home offices.

The Westfield School is committed to the belief that technology instruction is an enhancement of the educational process. We are committed to integrating technology, where appropriate, in each academic discipline, grade level, and course offering. Technology serves as a resource through which students can discover, investigate, and solve problems. Students must be able to determine when to use technology, and then have the skills and resources to do so. In addition to offering a wireless campus, Westfield includes five computer labs. Three of the labs are located in one wing of the school for Middle and Upper School students, and a smaller lab is located in the Media Center. The Lower School lab is used for technology instruction in grades Pre-K through 5. To further integrate technology into the classroom, mobile carts with laptops and iPads are available for students and teachers. Also to enhance instruction, classrooms and science labs are equipped with interactive white boards and LCD projectors. We constantly look for ways to integrate technology throughout our campus and within our classrooms to enhance student learning. Our student information database gives our students an electronic identity campus wide along with student/parent global access to track academic progress and attendance. All of these services are secured using state-of-the-art firewalls and comprehensive internet security programs to keep student data private and confidential. The Westfield School will continue to enhance all areas of school operations including administration, business, academics, athletics, and student life with current technologies and practices.
