Overview
Mission
Woodland Academy operates a school with an average of 7-9 full time at risk students ages 11-18. Our objective is to provide an alternative educational setting to meet the social, emotional/behavioral, academic and life needs of our students. As a hands on learning environment, work and employment are a major objective as students reach ages 15-16 and enter the age of employability. Woodland Academy also conducts monthly support meetings for parents in order that school and parents work cooperatively as a team in guiding students to productive adulthood.
