Why Woodlawn

COME SEE THE DIFFERENCE

WE ARE DIFFERENT

WHAT SETS US APART

Our Mission, Philosophy, and Culture set us apart from every other school in the region.

OUR PURPOSE

OUR MISSION

Produce independent, lifelong learners who are responsible, contributing members of a diverse global society. Here’s what this means for your child…

Independent – Woodlawn students learn to think for themselves. They learn to navigate the world around them guided by a strong moral compass and a deep set of convictions. 

Lifelong Learners – Joyful learners! Woodlawn students never lose their natural love of learning. They develop superior “learn how to learn” skills and a healthy respect for positive, constructive failure. They learn to choose a bright, positive, optimistic emotional response to change. All these things are essential ingredient to developing a growth mindset. 

Contributing Members of a Diverse Global Society – Woodlawn students embrace the world in all its challenges and complexities, and they celebrate its differences.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We believe a superior learning environment is one that nurtures critical thinking, curiosity, and diligence. 

We support the personal growth of our students by encouraging creativity, leadership, and individuality. 

We foster social responsibility in our students by teaching them to value multiple perspectives, to build relationships based on compassion, tolerance, and respect. 

Environmental sustainability is a central part of our curriculum and culture, teaching our students to be good stewards of our land and resources.

“My life at Woodlawn is central to my identity, and I wouldn’t be the same had it not been for this small community where teachers and classmates become a second family. Woodlawn is unique. Where else would you find students playing basketball in a gym designed to look like a traditional red barn or see middle schoolers studying about plants in the campus gardens? As students and teachers, we are athletes, artists, musicians, and much more. Sometimes a bit quirky – one friend created a business designing bow ties and a favorite teacher, a former Apple executive, enjoys flying his drone around campus.”
