Experience the Difference

The Woods Academy is where children come to discover their talents, grow in their faith, challenge themselves, and foster a strong desire to lead lives of significance. 

The Woods Academy in Bethesda, MD has an innovative curriculum with entrepreneurship and leadership.

 

What a blessing it is, watching our three boys walk into the Woods Academy together each morning with smiles on their faces, greeted by faculty who know them by name, and by friends who are happy to see them and are equally happy to be there. The Woods is a place where our children feel safe and comfortable; a place that has been key in building their education, character and self-confidence; a place that has provided continuity during tumultuous times.
