From athletics to robotics, mathematics to music, a Woodlands education is as much about what goes on outside the classroom as within it. Our programs encourage each student to try something new and compete to the highest of her ability.

Women in the Arts celebrated in March
Works by artists Liz Born and Anita Powell were displayed at Woodlands Academy as part of the 2024 Jamie Tuttle Women in the Arts festival, which also featured in-person presentations by each artist.
