ENRICHMENT EXPERIENCES

OUR CULTURE

At Woodlawn School learning extends beyond the classroom with experiences that include athletics, arts and theatre, outdoor learning, life skills, sustainability, culture, and traditions.  Students also participate in a wide range of community partnerships as part of their service learning, which follows our path to producing responsible lifelong learners.

WHY I LOVE WOODLAWN

“The part I enjoy most about Woodlawn is that you get to make your own fun. Interested in a ga-ga pit? Build one yourself on campus! We spent the fall building one and then had a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Now nearly everyone in the school is playing ga-ga ball. It’s pretty cool. You learn pretty quickly that you can make a difference by just speaking up and getting involved. It’s surprising how many people will join in on the fun. Check out our Grounds Crew club. We’re always looking for new members.”

– Zach L. ’17

IN THE COMMUNITY

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

In The Community, students engage in Service Learning partnerships and the annual STEAMfest community event. Woodlawn shares Project Based Learning training with other local schools.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

SERVICE LEARNING

In all grade levels, Woodlawn students advocate for a specific local or global cause that is interwoven throughout their year-long course of study. Rather than fulfilling a required number of hours, our students spend the year understanding and gaining the perspective of their service partner.

 
OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

STEM + ART

STEAMFEST

STEAMfest is the largest annual science and arts festival in the region, providing free hands-on experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. In April 2022, more than 800 guests explored over 60 hands-on activity booths created by local colleges, libraries, museums, schools, clubs, and businesses. 

LEARN WITH STEAMFEST

SHARING KNOWLEDGE

FOR THE EDUCATORS

Through a grant from the Virginia Wellington Cabot Foundation, Woodlawn shares the skills for Project Based Learning with public school teachers from the region using the Buck Institute’s PBL Works program. Over 3 days, we provide specialized training in Project Based Learning.

WHY I LOVE WOODLAWN

“Outside of the classroom, the sky’s the limit for what a student can do here. During my time at Woodlawn, I have had the opportunity to explore several of my interests and blaze my own trail. One great example of this came during the winter of my sophomore year, when a couple friends and I wanted to run indoor track. Due to the rules of our conference, Woodlawn is not allowed to have an indoor track team associated with the school. Despite this unfortunate rule, my friends and I were able to establish a club team which allowed us to compete. Since its establishment, our club has run each winter, and it’s just one example of how the opportunities at Woodlawn are endless. I am extremely grateful for the role that Woodlawn has played in my life, and I would encourage anybody with the opportunity to attend this school to take it.”
