    Educational Philosophy

    Woodland values the importance of balancing the many aspects of a child’s life and chooses experiences intended to foster the individual growth of the intellectual, spiritual, creative, physical, social, and emotional roots. 

    Woodland grows the potential of each child through differentiated instruction, small class sizes, and a challenging, yet supportive educational curriculum. 

    Woodland’s dedicated faculty believes in building a strong partnership with the child’s family and school community to facilitate continuous growth. 

            Woodland:

      • individualizes and differentiates teaching and learning 
      • celebrates the potential in every student, in and out of the classroom
      • develops spiritual growth 
      • encourages social relationships 
      • recognizes student successes and failures as growth opportunities 

             The Woodland Graduate: 

      • prepares academically for future educational challenges.
      • makes choices that are guided by faith in God. 
      • effectively communicates and solves problems. 
      • shows compassion, serves others, and gives back to society. 
      • confidently seeks opportunities to learn and to grow.

    Statement of Faith

    • We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative word of God.

    • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    • We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return to power and glory.

    • We believe regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity.

    • We believe God created the world out of nothing in order to reveal His glory, eternal power, wisdom, and goodness. God made everything in the world, visible and invisible. After God had made all other creatures, he created man, male and female in his own image.
