Green Space is Good for Kids

OUR GREEN CAMPUS

COME SEE THE DIFFERENCE

CONSERVATION

FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

Woodlawn School is a small, Pre-K – 12, independent day school on a 61-acre, wooded historic campus one mile from Davidson, NC.  This year we celebrate our 20th anniversary. Our 169 young alumni have been admitted to the most selective American and international colleges and universities, and our unique approach to teaching and learning enables them to thrive in college and beyond.

OUR PURPOSE

LIVING GREEN

Playgrounds, fresh air, trees, grass, and natural space have all been linked to better brain development in children. At Woodlawn, our green campus refers to much more than the green hair, bowties, and other Woodlawn spirit gear you’ll see our students wearing. We’re talking about the living green stuff that brings our students closer to their natural world: a small wetlands area for the study of wetland hydrology and preservation issues, cross country running trails that weave around the boundaries of our campus, and a set of garden plots that date back to the late 1800s.

Recycling and composting are encouraged throughout the campus, reminding students how to strengthen their environmentally friendly habits. Thanks to parent volunteers, we now have a new compost bin in the gardens.

Sustainability is woven throughout the curriculum. The K-12 art program, for instance, emphasizes reclaimed and recycled materials. Students make meaningful connections with artists and artwork that address environmental issues. Sixth graders study the Woodlawn School wildlife garden and woods to gain an appreciation of the complexity of ecosystems and recognize our responsibility to protect animal habitat and animal species. The seventh grade overnight trip includes an ecological stream study, catching macro-invertebrates, and conducting water quality testing.
