Welcome to The Woods Virtual Admissions


 

Although we would much rather meet you in person, we are pleased to welcome you to our Virtual Admissions page.

There is nothing we love more than showing prospective families around our school, so you can see for yourself what a special learning community it is.                                                           
We know that families are still looking for the right school for their child, so we have gathered together as much content as we can to give you the best virtual insight possible into The Woods Academy. 

Good news! We are now offering limited, modified tours of our campus. So, please start to get to know us by exploring this page and let us know when you would like to come visit.

A Special Place

The Woods is a special place because of the faculty and staff we have here. We are all one big, supportive family and the commitment and dedication that I see daily is inspiring.
-Ray Briscoe,
Associate Head of School

For Everyone

One thing that sets The Woods apart is the breadth it offers - it is not narrowly focused. The Woods has an offering for everyone, and welcomes everyone - it serves all kinds of  children extremely well.

Family Oriented

When we first moved here, my four boys were very shy. They’ve grown at The Woods. Dance, sports, music -they’ve done it all here. Now they are confident, capable and thriving.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE WOODS ACADEMY OFFERS A MONTESSORI EARLY YEARS PROGRAM?

If you have a young child and are interested in how this compares to more traditional preschool models then you may like to download our free Parent Guide.

 

Our parent guide clearly outlines the distinguishing characteristics of:
 

  • Montessori education

  • Play-based education

  • Academic or skill-based education
     

If you've ever wondered about the differences, or felt confused about the options and choices available in education today, then request your free guide to help you determine if Montessori is right for your child!
