We provide a superior learning environment by encouraging critical thinking, curiosity, and diligence. We promote the personal growth of our students by encouraging creativity, leadership, and individuality. We are socially responsible by valuing multiple perspectives, compassion, tolerance, and respect. We incorporate environmental sustainability in our curriculum, school culture,and stewardship of our land and resources. Woodlawn students are joyful learners who choose a bright, optimistic, positive emotional response to change. They are unafraid to learn new things.

Our Early Childhood programs nurture and value a childs wonder, spirit, andcuriosity from the classroom, to the garden, and the playground with a responsiveclassroom approach, teaching emotional intelligence, grounded in intentionality, andnature play. In Lower School, we build a strong foundation for lifelong learning, through project-based learning in an integrated curriculum including arts, life skills, service learning, environmental stewardship, outdoor learning, and distinctive elements beyond the classroom. Our Middle School consists of grades 6-8, and intentionally engages adolescents inlearning to think, understand, and apply knowledge through intellectual and practical problem solving, developing good organization, study skills, encouraging personal responsibility, and mature social behavior. Our top priorities in Middle School: guiding students toward independence and self-advocacy. As students come to understand and adapt to their own learning styles, they develop the capabilities to become lifelong learners. Our project-based interdisciplinary curriculum stretches students thinking from the concrete to the abstract; students respond to real-world questions and challenges through an extended inquiry process. Classes are small and discussion-based. Students collaborate with their classmates, using their critical thinking and communication skills. Teachers, as curriculum designers, create innovative projects that engage Middle School students in complex, real-world experiences through which they develop and apply skills and knowledge. Our approach keeps enthusiasm high, while helping students to become creative, resourceful problem solvers.Woodlawns Upper School program prepares students in grades 9-12 for success in college and beyond with a rigorous honors academic program which develops thoughtful and engaged citizens, creative and critical problem-solvers, and skilled communicators and collaborators. Our approach develops thoughtful and engaged citizens, creative and critical problem solvers, and skilled communicators and collaborators. As a learner-centered school, we empower students to actively contribute by influencing policies, taking the lead in clubs/organizations, and collaborating in partnership with teachers to establish meaningful traditions in an intentionally integrative and purposeful close-knit community.Woodlawn also offers a myriad of opportunities beyond the school day - with programsavailable through our Extended Day, After Care, and Summer Camps. 3684138 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false true false true false false false false false true false false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 13 0 true 64 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X X Sharon Gostomski 7048958653 PO Box 549 Davidson NC 28036 Paul Zanowski Head of School 40.00 0.00 X X 169395 0 10155 Holly Honeycutt Associate Head of 40.00 0.00 107500 0 9134 Dwayne Bowman Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Steve Taylor Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ray Jacobson Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Nikki Howard Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dawn Chuprevich Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lee Blakely Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kurt Lindquist Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lynette Rinker Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Trey Wills Vice Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lindsey Edmonson Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Arch McIntosh Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 276895 19289 2 false true false 0 56525 330067 386592 Scholarships 322790 322790 Tuition and Fees 611600 3747900 3747900 4070690 36 36 0 0 0 0 106716 56525 77341 29375 0 0 Miscellaneous 611600 15013 15013 15013 4501706 4085703 36 0 322790 322790 0 0 179550 35910 125685 17955 0 2568438 2172168 255672 140598 16805 13503 2332 970 197898 159016 27464 11418 161578 129832 22423 9323 0 0 0 0 0 0 181976 180 181796 122707 122707 61242 30621 27559 3062 0 0 334938 316182 13397 5359 0 0 0 0 0 315110 297464 12604 5042 44652 35879 6197 2576 Student Activities 105681 105681 Books and Classroom Supplies 64912 64912 Other 34524 34524 0 4712801 3684138 709653 319010 1095415 1418584 0 1620 65836 30232 0 0 0 0 15122 2200 11028437 3010271 8188850 8018166 0 0 0 0 48684 9365223 9519486 141366 245617 1909756 2227110 987005 942074 806800 795484 3844927 4210285 X 5445439 5243344 74857 65857 5520296 5309201 9365223 9519486 -211095 X false true X true false X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3782201 3782201 5246217 2091225 3154992 300472 64604 235868 1690922 854442 836480 8625 8625 8018166 Lease Obligation 746800 Operating right of use lease liability 48684 795484 4178916 4178916 322790 322790 4501706 4390011 4390011 322790 322790 4712801 Part XI, Line 4b: Other revenue amounts included on 990 but not included in F/S Financial Aid $322790 Part XII, Line 4b: Other revenue amounts included on 990 but not included in F/S Financial Aid $322790 true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true Schedule E, Line 3 - Racially Nondiscriminatory Policy Publicized Woodlawn School has included its racially non discrimination policy in certain ads in papers and on certain brochures.
