ACADEMICS

COME SEE THE DIFFERENCE

INTEGRATED + INNOVATIVE

OUR APPROACH TO ACADEMICS

It is not enough to simply memorize rote facts and statistics. We go beyond mastering the fundamentals in each subject area by engaging our students in group discussions, in-depth research projects, presentations, and performances that connect the disciplines. 

REAL-WORLD CONTEXT

A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING

Because our world is integrated, we believe our curriculum should be, too. To make learning relevant and meaningful, content from various subject areas is linked around essential questions so that students learn how to make connections between subjects through investigation and research. Students ultimately gain a deeper understanding of subject matter by using it in real world contexts.

Located on a scenic 61-acre’s the Woodlawn campus is just one mile north of Davidson, North Carolina, easily accessible from Interstate 77 and the surrounding Lake Norman communities.

Woodlawn School is accredited by both the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), Woodlawn offers a challenging, project-based academic experience for students Pre- K through High School.  

Students have voice & choice

Students at Woodlawn play an active role in their education. Through this collaborative approach to learning students build confidence and provide them with an environment where they know they are valued and can learn and grow emotionally. All while feeling safe and secure in being themselves.

RESPONSIVE CLASSROOMS

BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

Our responsive classroom approach ensures 21st century skills: creativity and innovation, collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving, and communication. Project-based hands-on learning does not typically constitute an entire educational program, but instead projects are used alongside systematic instruction to achieve curricular goals. Systematic instruction can be thought of as the acquisition of skills and project work allows for the application of skills.

WHY I LOVE WOODLAWN

“At Woodlawn, you’re encouraged to be yourself. At Woodlawn, being different and unique is actually cool. And growing up in that type of environment instilled in me a level of confidence that has been crucial to my success beyond the classroom. Woodlawn shaped who I am today: a confident woman living independently in New York City and pursuing a career I feel passionately about.”
