There’s no single ‘Blazer type.
Woodlawn students come from a wide range of backgrounds, learning styles, and interests. What they share is curiosity, a willingness to work hard, and a desire to make a difference.
Curious Learners
Students who ask questions, chase ideas, and aren’t satisfied with surface-level answers find a real home at Woodlawn. Curiosity isn’t just welcomed here. It is the engine of everything we build.
Collaborative Spirits
Our project-based model is built on genuine teamwork. Students who value other perspectives, listen well, and know how to build something together are exactly who Woodlawn was designed for.
Students Ready to Lead
Whether through Student Council, Senior Capstone, or community partnerships, Woodlawn gives students real opportunities to lead early and often. If your child wants to make something, this is the place.

A Note from
Jennifer Moore
Dear Families,
If you have found your way to this page, chances are you are asking the question so many Woodlawn families have asked before you: is this the right place for my child?
I have had the privilege of welcoming families to Woodlawn for years, and what I can tell you with certainty is this: the families who thrive here are not looking for a school that simply prepares students for the next test. They are looking for a school that prepares students for the life ahead of them. If that sounds like your family, I hope you will give us the chance to show you what that looks like in practice.
At Woodlawn, admission is not about finding the perfect student. It is about finding the right match between a child and a community. We believe every student arrives extraordinary. Our work is to build the conditions where that shows, every single day, from PreK through graduation.
Our process is personal by design. When you tour our campus, you will not just see classrooms. You will see students presenting work to real audiences, collaborating on problems that matter, and advocating for ideas they have developed over time. You will see what project-based learning actually looks like when a school takes it seriously, not as a program, but as a philosophy.
I would love to begin a conversation with your family. Whether you are just starting to explore or you are ready to take the next step, our admission team is here to walk alongside you. There is no pressure and no mold your child needs to fit to belong here.
We are ready when you are.
Jennifer Moore Director of Enrollment Management, Woodlawn SchoolAn Education Built for
Students Who Are Becoming.
Every school promises a great education. Woodlawn delivers something more specific: six measurable graduate outcomes, built through real work across four divisions, in a community that knows every student by name, by idea, and by what they are working toward.
PBL has been the structure of every Woodlawn education since 2002, not a program added on top. Students learn by doing real work with real stakes and real audiences from PreK through graduation.
Advocacy, Agency, Awareness, Alliance, Durable Skills, and Impact. Every classroom decision traces back to these six outcomes, so families always know what their child is building toward.
Small classes mean teachers know every student by name, by idea, and by what they are working toward. At Woodlawn, a student is never just a number on a roster.
One school, one community, one unbroken arc of development. Woodlawn students build on the same outcomes from their first year to their Senior Capstone, so nothing is ever lost in transition.
An investment in your child’s future.
Woodlawn is committed to making an exceptional education accessible. We offer need-based financial aid to qualifying families, and our admission process is need-blind, meaning financial need does not factor into admission decisions.
