Since COVID keeps us apart, our school mascot Hoot and I have gathered the energy and enthusiasm of our Woods community in our first ever Virtual Pep Rally!
We are
a private, co-educational, inclusive Catholic school, preschool – grade 8, where curiosity and confidence thrive.
Montessori Preschool
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.
Faith Life & Community Service
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.
The Arts
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.
Technology
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.
Athletics
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.
Daily World Language
From preschool through Grade 8, our students learn French or Spanish, developing a love for languages that they carry to high school and beyond.
Our Program
Ages 3 to Grade 8
