The Woods Montessori program meets the needs and interests of three to six year olds. Learning is intrinsically motivating and joyful in the multi-age classroom and prepared environment.
As a Catholic school, the faith development and character education of our children is devoted to enriching students’ lives and preparing them to lead lives of significance. Lessons on faith and values anchor everyday life.
Our talented, creative arts faculty cultivates our students’ artistic gifts, engaging their minds, bodies, and spirits through art education that includes music, visual arts, and performing arts.
Our students’ foundation in technology includes understanding how it works and how to use it to change lives. Our technology supports innovative learning at all ages.
Our athletics program is a critical part of our children’s education. It provides building blocks in their development while giving them an appreciation for health and fitness as well as habits that will last a lifetime.
From preschool through Grade 8, our students learn French or Spanish, developing a love for languages that they carry to high school and beyond.
Although we were not able to celebrate the French-speaking world with our normal festival this year, we did make sure that each French class engaged in activities that would help them appreciate French as a global language that will allow them to connect with so many people and travel to so many countries.
Last Friday, on the heels of Earth Month, 48 Upper School students joined together to learn from the environmental activist and author Philippe Cousteau.
Science and the humanities seem like an unlikely (or at least less common) pair. However, since September, I have sought out ways to connect science to non-STEAM subject areas.
We all know the importance of trying to maintain inner peace during this pandemic crisis.
Students loved being able to express what they have learned by making their own seed necklaces. They are very excited for them to sprout and grow.
