Your child needs to be 4 years old to apply for prekindergarten and 5 for kindergarten, before the first day of school in August.

Your child can arrive as early as 7 a.m. for free, supervised morning care until they go to their homerooms at 8 a.m. The day begins with morning meeting, so teachers can connect and check in with students and begin the day in a loving, supportive way. Students in pre-K and kindergarten end their days at 2:30 p.m. The day ends for first-sixth graders at 3 p.m., and we have many fun opportunities after school, too.

SEE Learning means Social, Emotional, and Ethical Learning. It is an education program that supplements the Woodward academic experience, teaching important skills that help our students do well in school and life—such as being kind, understanding others, and being strong when things get tough. This is consistent with Woodward’s mission of developing “students and graduates who are caring and compassionate global citizens.”

Research shows that when students feel happy, calm, and confident, they're more focused and ready to learn. But when they're stressed or upset, it can be hard for them to focus and do their best. That's where SEE Learning comes in. At the heart of SEE Learning is an understanding that we're all connected and that everyone has a basic desire to be happy and do well. This helps students be better prepared to handle the challenges of life and school.

After the school day ends at 3 p.m., many of our students stay for after school care, where they get a snack, play together, and join their friends in crafts or other activities until 6 p.m. Families use the program as needed for $7 per hour.

We do not have plans to expand the Woodward North campus to grades 7-12. As students move up to the middle and high school grades, they transition to Main Campus, where our expansive facilities allow us to provide expanding opportunities as they learn and grow. These include high-tech science labs, robotics spaces, three gyms, nine tennis courts, practice fields, and student lounges, and we cannot replicate these on our Johns Creek campus. By the time they reach seventh grade, our students are ready to expand their horizons on Main Campus, and they learn to manage their time on the Campus Connect shuttle bus, offered free daily from Woodward North to Main Campus.

Our Woodward North classrooms usually include 15-18 students. In grades preK-3, each classroom has two teachers—a lead teacher and an instructional aide. 

Our most recent graduating class earned upwards of $20 million in college scholarships. Every year, 100% of Woodward graduates go on to attend colleges and universities around the U.S., as well as a few abroad. For more details on where Woodward graduates matriculate, check out this list of colleges where recent graduates have enrolled. Once they enroll in college, our students are notably well-prepared. They begin with qualities of character and mind that few other first-year college students possess, including civility, endurance, confidence in all kinds of settings, the ability to advocate for themselves, and self-reliance. These qualities ensure success in college and a well-laid path for life.

You’ll discover many opportunities to get involved in our Woodward North Parent Community, from our book fair to decorating for holiday traditions of all faiths to classroom parties and festivals.
