Hear from our students:

“You really get to know the kids for a long time, and they become like your second family.”

“At Wood Acres School you get more individual attention because the class sizes are much smaller and there are fewer distractions.”

“Being outdoors every day is my favorite! We get recess and PE!”

And our parents:

“Wood Acres School offers a warm and fuzzy learning environment, with a strong sense of academics. It is the warm smiles that greet us each morning. The inclusiveness. It is the human element that is embedded in the Wood Acres education. ”

“Our oldest son, who was doing “fine” in public school, is now learning more and challenging himself. There is no such thing as “fine.” He wants to be “great.” He strives to be better. Just the other day, he looked at us and said, “Thank you for sending me to Wood Acres School. I feel smart.”

“One of the MANY things I love about Wood Acres School is your constant reflection of what is working and what is not. What could be better than their approach to education: be fearless, take charge, and do what the kids need to prepare them for life. I love that Wood Acres strives for students to understand the WHY of what they are doing.”

“One of my favorite aspects of Wood Acres School is the small community feel. The principal knows my child by name and has a grasp on his strengths and weaknesses. When I had concerns about his learning ability, she took 30 min out of her day to discuss it with me and was extremely helpful with feedback. This school is amazing and an extremely good value. I’d recommend this school to anyone who wants a higher standard of education.“
