Woodlands Academy

What I have loved about Woodlands is not only the excellent academics, the many course offerings including Latin, Technology, Drama, Current Events, Engineering, History, Science and Math - all of which have both high classroom standards and creative projects and hands-on experience. Not only the extensive field trips, the extra-curricular STEM club, foreign language, the small class sizes where each student has many opportunities to present their projects and learn to be comfortable speaking to a group. more

We are so pleased to have found Woodlands Academy. This is the first year there for our son and he is thriving!!! The teachers are genuinely dedicated in what they do which makes learning so much more enjoyable. The small sized classes are what drew us in at first. Because our son did well in school he was often forgotten in the back of the crowded classroom while the teachers focused on the slower children. He now is part of the class and the learning that is going on every day! Pros: Small sized classes more

Some people pick schools for the sports, some for the name, some because it's where the Jones kids go...but since we were looking for a school for education's sake, we picked Woodlands Academy of Castle Rock for everything it was supposed to and could provide. Because schools are for educating. Pros: Highly intelligent teachers, excellent coverage of all subjects, experiential supplementation of curriculum, inexpensive Cons: I have to wait for my boys when I pick them up, they are too engaged to want to leave. more

Woodlands Academy is clearly the best choice for our family. My daughter now loves to learn, her study habits have been impressive, and her grades have reflected this. She and I were so worried that she would be literally and figuratively lost in the huge middle school environment. The small class sizes and extra teacher attention have made a dramatic change in my daughter's attitude, performance, and social skills. I am confident that Woodlands Academy will well prepare her for the academic and social challenges she will face in high school and beyond. I'll be sending my other daughter to Woodlands Academy for middle school, and she can't wait to go. Pros: Dedicated talented teachers, great kids, core curriculum, experiental, great tech program Cons: School has no funding so building is on a small strip mall, but once you get inside you can see the magic. more
