So Many Reasons to Love Woodland

Here are just some of the many reasons our families do. We invite you to read through, but we find the best way to find out answers to the question "What are the many reasons to love Woodland?" is to come see for yourself. Join us for a virtual information session, in-person campus tour, or our Open House/Preview Day. We look forward to meeting you soon.

A Small School with a Big Heart

Our teacher ratio of 9:1 and small class sizes translate into more individualized attention for students and enhance the learning environment. On the playground, students feel welcomed and included.

We may have three divisions and multiple grades; but we identify as one cohesive school.

 

 

 

 

Brimming with Wonder, Joy, and Opportunity

From supporting the whole child in our early childhood program to our innovative middle school, we believe that students learn to their potential when they are inspired.

The school takes a joyful approach to learning and places an emphasis on empowering and encouraging students to be active and engaged learners.

From our youngest learners through our eighth grade, each child is seen and heard and supported by our community who knows them well.

Where Students Translate Passion Into Purpose

At Woodland, we empower students by nurturing each individual’s voice, intellect, and character in a tight-knit community.

Our students’ innate sense of wonder is the foundation of learning at Woodland School. Teachers craft meaningful, multisensory learning experiences which enable creativity, ingenuity, and deep interdisciplinary connections.

Eighth-Grade Capstone provides students with a yearlong, intensive opportunity to research a topic of local and global significance and ultimately present their findings to the Woodland community.

Cultivating Compassionate Stewards

At Woodland, we expect our graduates to make their school, and eventually the world, a better place. Stewardship is deeply ingrained in our school culture--it's one our pillars, part of our mission and vision, and one of our core values.

Stewardship provides opportunities for students to reflect on the world around them. It permeates every aspect of the school--from the classroom to the playground.

 

Creative, Collaborative, and Confident Graduates

2024 Graduation

At all grade levels, teachers team with both students and parents to ensure each child is challenged, honored, and discovers and nurtures his/her passion.

Throughout this journey, students are encouraged to take risks and take responsibility for their own learning, discovering their strengths, tackling challenges, and finding their voices.

What you see in Woodland students is courage to ask questions, confidence to speak up, and compassion to take action and create meaningful change.

Home to Outstanding Faculty

Our teachers have been trained at preeminent colleges and universities.

Their teaching experience includes international schools, prominent independent schools, innovative charter schools, and top public and private schools in the area.

Our teachers are themselves learners, constantly searching for ways to improve their practice by participating in a robust professional development program.

A School for the Whole Family

Woodland is a vibrant and active place before and after school with extended day options beginning at 7:30 a.m. and extending until 6 p.m.

Woodland also coordinates a number of parent education opportunities, including Common Ground Speaker Events and Division Director Coffees.

Additionally, parents share that the parents of their child's friends become their friends throughout their years at Woodland.

Many Cultures, One Family

Chinese New Year

Located just west of 280 at Alpine Road, Woodland represents a blend of backgrounds, traditions, and cultures.

Our families, teachers, and trustees come from a wide variety of racial, ethnic, religious, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds and family configurations.

These differences strengthen our community in countless ways, but it's what our families have in common that is perhaps more vital.

They place a high priority on education, embrace the strength of a diverse community, and believe in instilling a core set of values in their children.

A Breath of Fresh Air
