Every year, Experience the Arts Day provides students of all ages an opportunity to truly immerse themselves in artistic pursuits. Our student painters, sculptors, artists, dancers, musicians, singers, and more perform their crafts in front of and inside Richardson Hall, and other students from each of our schools spend some time walking through and taking in the array of canvases, art boards, sculptures, pottery, and more dotting the landscape....

Our Week of Understanding is an annual opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to dive deeper into the differences that make our community and humanity great, but that also can provide a pretext for unnecessary division. Education about what makes us all different is an important step in the march toward acceptance and love, and this week is our concentrated attempt at pushing that educational journey along...

This year, to thank donors to The Woodward Fund, we reached out to our students to share a little bit about what they loved about Woodward, in their own words. Their responses were too good not to share with you all. Thank you for everything you do for the Academy!
Beyond the Gate: The Woodward Academy Blog is a gathering place for our community members to share all of the remarkable things happening at Woodward in the classroom and beyond. Our talented faculty and staff will share their ideas and philosophies as well as news about the programs and activities that make the Academy special. We’ll also hear from students, alumni, parents, and other members of the War Eagle family. We invite you to explore and share your comments!
