Our mission is to Support, Supplement, and Complement our K-12 program, while providing educational services to our community at-large.  We do this through our 5 main components:

  • Early Childhood & School-Age Child Care

    • We offer a full range of early childhood programs which includes Stepping Stones, a full-day for three year olds, Junior Kindergarten, a full-day for four years olds and Traditional Preschool, a half-day program for three and four year old children.

    • We were one of the first school districts in Oakland County to offer the Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP), a state-funded full-day Preschool program for four year olds which provides tuition to families who qualify based on socio-economic factors.

    • We are widely recognized as having one of the best early childhood programs in Oakland County using the HighScope curriculum endorsed by Oakland Schools.
       

  • Enrichment and Recreation, including Summer Camps & Aquatics

Our enrichment and recreation program offers classes and activities after school, on Saturdays, and during school breaks.

  • All classes are designed to support and complement the K-12 program.

  • Summer programs include language arts, math, hands-on learning, Spanish, karate, computers, and outdoor activities including daily walk to Willow Beach.

  • Summer day campers participated in the West Bloomfield Township Public Library's Summer Reading Program.
                       

  • Adult Education & English as a Second Language

    • We consistently meet and exceed state standards in our Adult Education/ESL program and have one of the highest enrollments in Oakland County.

  • Facility Rental

    • School district facilities are available on a rental basis to individuals, groups, and religious and community organizations; generating revenue for the district and bringing people into our buildings.

  • Summer School

Community Education is a self-sustaining department that is funded through:

  • Tuition & fees

  • State & federal grants for our ESL program

  • Early Childhood grants for low-income families

  • Revenue generated from the rental of school facilities

     

Profits generated from our activities flow back into the General Fund of the School District, thereby further enhancing WBSD’s educational programs.

 

We are proud of being distinguished as the 2013 “District of the Year” by the Oakland County Community and Adult Educators for our outstanding community education programs and services.

 

We provide activities and services for tots to seniors.  Our varied and exemplary programs promote life-long learning as a means to success and fulfillment.
