JOYFUL LEARNING
DISCOVER meaningful learning
Discover joyful, meaningful, project based learning in our Kindergarten through Fifth grade classrooms.
Sitting on a historic 61-acre campus, Woodlawn School provides space for students of all socio-economic backgrounds to learn, create, and grow to cultivate lifelong learners and leaders.
Our responsive classrooms are focused on creating a supportive environment that nurtures adaptive, respectful, and emotionally intelligent young students who are eager and ready to learn with real world, hands-on experiences utilizing our project based learning approach.
Through project work, sources of information are not limited to traditional textbooks. Instead, students examine information from “expert” adults, field experiences, primary source documents, nonfiction books, and Internet resources. Keeping in line with our methodology, technology is integrated into the classroom in developmentally appropriate ways, rather than provided as a discrete subject area in a computer lab environment.
In addition to meeting our academic standards, students completing our Lower School program are equipped with the skills necessary to be successful in Middle School. Lower School students are developing the ability to:
+ Act responsibly and respectfully
+ Demonstrate integrity
+ Solve problems and think critically
+ Organize and analyze information
+ Cooperate with groups of peers
+ Recognize and respect each other’s points of view
