WE ARE THE WOODS
For children ages 3 to Grade 8, The Woods Academy is a Catholic community that nurtures the whole child through academic excellence, spiritual enrichment, and character development.
Equipping children with essential life skills, critical thinking abilities, and a strong sense of character, empowering them to confidently navigate and succeed in an ever-evolving future.
At The Woods Academy, academic excellence encompasses the development of foundational skills and a love for learning that will serve as the basis for future academic success.
Spiritual enrichment is a personal journey, and students are helped along the way by teachers and mentors at The Woods Academy among other individuals in the child’s life.
Character development for The Woods Academy students involves fostering positive traits, values, and social skills that contribute to their overall well-being and success.
Just because our students move on to high school and college doesn’t mean they leave our lives. Our alumni remain highly connected, with each other.
