Children spend a lot of time outdoors at Woodland . We are fortunate to be located on 10.5 acres of open land, giving our students access to outdoor space every day during recess, lunch, and physical education. Outdoor classrooms are available for teachers to hold classes. In addition, Early Childhood students (PS, PK) can choose to explore both the indoor and outdoor classroom throughout the day, lower school students (K-4) have an outdoor science garden and middle school students (5-8) also have plenty of fresh air during passing periods to classes. Lastly, our Extended Day program also utilizes the outdoor space daily.

The House system is a long-standing tradition at Woodland. Students in kindergarten through eighth grade are inducted into one of four houses - Cypress, Maple, Oak, or Pine - at the beginning of their first year at Woodland and remain in the same house throughout their time at Woodland. Woodland employees who are also alumni proudly wear their house shirts on house activity days.

Students in preschool and pre-kindergarten are our "Saplings" until they are inducted into a house their Kindergarten year.

Woodland's House system is inspired by the European boarding school house systems, which help to enrich the school community across grade levels. Students come together with their house multiple times per year for Buddy Lunches and friendly House Cup Games.
