Join roundtable discussions over Zoom and hear from the current parents and alumni of schools you’re considering.
Panelists are answering questions and sharing their insights—about their school’s culture, strengths, and weaknesses.
So, to be fair we did not have to deal with any problems or discipline. However, we can say that the communication has generally been good. The newsletter is concise but clear and the Edsby site works well, where most issues can all be found on this one page. Special events are communicated well. What stands out most is how positive and engaged the leadership and administration is. They talk with students, with parents, they have responded when we have asked questions, and they generally seem to view the school as more than just a place of employment, but rather a place of community with the students. This is remarkable.
I definitely respect the leadership in the school. The teachers are very approachable and easy to talk to. The guidance counsellors are extremely helpful to go talk to if anything good or bad is going on in my life. We also have a team of student government who make life at Woodland more enjoyable with activities inside and outside of the school day. For example, in the spring, they put together a water carnival at lunch which is always a great way to interact with peers and teachers in a low-pressure environment
