Secondary Education

Secondary education at WUSD starts with Windsor Middle School. The sprawling WMS campus houses state-of-the-art culinary and science classrooms, as the basis for many of the unique elective offerings available to students, as well as a school garden, sports fields, music classrooms and more. WMS is where students can explore their interests and prepare for the years ahead.

Our bilingual Spanish-immersion charter school Cali Calmécac also offers 6th through 8th grade, however, students in those grades will have been at Cali Calmécac from the early years. Cali generally does not accept students after 2nd grade.

From WMS or Cali, students then have two choices in front of them.

The first is Windsor High School, featuring the unique core system in the upper grades, which allows students to explore interests & be a part of a small learning community. WHS offers extensive Career-Technical Education (CTE) opportunities, including multiple academies that allow graduates to step into the career of their choice as well as honors academics tracks that can provide a pathway into the nation’s top universities.

WHS also has a unique partnership with Sonoma State University, which offers guaranteed admission to WHS graduates who meet certain parameters. Whether your student is interested in construction or the arts, college degrees or culinary school, WHS has a pathway to help their dreams come true.

WUSD also offers Big Picture Learning Windsor, "where passion meets purpose." Through personalized, independent learning plans, mentorship & experiential internship opportunities, BPL Windsor inspires students to become lifelong learners & critical thinkers, compassionate leaders, & active contributors to their communities. BPL Windsor students are tomorrow’s entrepreneurs, artists, innovators, and leaders.

Finally, WUSD also offers a unique opportunity for 6-12 graders who need more flexibility in their education. Sonoma County Virtual Academy is a fully online school, with support from WUSD. SoCoVA students also have opportunities to take part in the WUSD community, through participation in sports, clubs, dances, and more.
