Success in Learning for Success in Life

An Academic, Therapeutic Day School for Students in Grades 6–12

“My son started at Woodhouse Academy toward the end of his sophomore year in high school. It was the first time that he came home from school every day saying, “I love school!” He has grown into an exceptional young man, most of which is due to the staff at Woodhouse. They treat each child as an individual, celebrating their unique personalities and recognizing their strengths. My son no longer came home with stories about his bad day in school. Instead, he came home smiling about the kids in his class, what he created in the art studio, and how they went to Starbuck’s at the end of day.”

“The genuine nature at Woodhouse Academy left me dumbfounded and confused. With the passing of every day, my fears turned to love for the place and people here. They helped me realize my potential. I was reminded to reach for the stars. I was taught how to put action behind my dreams. These feelings would not be possible without the amazing staff here. They actually care what happens to me... The bottom line is this school is a blessing, a light at the end of a dark tunnel.”

N.S. (Student)

At Woodhouse I have not only succeeded in academics but also life management. I have come to understand by working with Woodhouse staff that no question is a dumb question and opinions supported are never wrong. The LD/s that once held me back in my academic and social life are now things that I know I struggle with and things I understand enough to work to overcome. I consider my time spent at Woodhouse a foundation for the future. Being a student at Woodhouse Academy has taught me to believe in myself and when I do, others will also believe in me.
