About Us

History

Wonderland School, a privately owned, state approved Christian school, was established in 1965 by Mrs. Shirley Fife. Over the past 50 plus years the school has grown from 10 students, taught in a dining room, to over 200 students taught in a 14,000 sq. foot building on the outskirts of San Marcos.

Mr. Jimmy Fife has been the principal at Wonderland for 20 plus years, and enjoys working with children and offering a superior alternative to public education.

We are thankful for his hard work and dedication to our children. He knows every child and parent by name, and is readily available to speak to families on a daily basis.

Curriculum

The mastery of basic skills is stressed through a curriculum rich in experiences of discovery, aided by a process of guided learning which uses state adopted textbooks and follows state guidelines. Flexibility of subject matter and its method of presentation allows for individual differences in all children.

The continuous and sequential academic program includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

Reading

Language

Mathematics

Spanish

Creative Writing

Social Studies

Art

Physical Education

Spelling

Computer Technology

Science

Our Philosophy

Wonderland School strives to provide an atmosphere in which each student feels loved respected, and challenged in a school setting which nurtures the maximum intellectual, social, moral, and physical development.

Through the development of a positive self-image, each student becomes aware of his or her rights, privileges, and responsibilities, to family, peers, community, and country.

The excellent staff of certified and experienced teachers make learning at Wonderland truly an adventure.
