Over all the system of accountability is just used to shame students for there actions and put on an act so the whole school wont hate them. There are no shops other then a gas station. Kids steal daily and no action is taken to prevent it.

Made an amazing difference for our Son. He was failing and felt disconnected from community and school. After 3 years he was a school leader and had his choice of colleges.

The school really helps to foster a sense of responsibility and skills involving introspection and self-examination. Self reflection and accountability learned at this school is hugely beneficial.

Attending Woodhall was a transformative experience for me. It helped me to resolve tendencies I was previously unwilling to address.

The Woodhall School is without doubt the place where my son has been the happiest he has been in his life and where he has learned the tools to help him be a happy, responsible and self-fulfilled adult. The School has an extraordinary academic, sports and enrichment program considering its small size. However, more importantly, the boys who come to Woodhall learn to believe in themselves and how to live with intention and accountability. They learn how to live with compassion and responsibility. For the Woodhall boys who, although they are very bright, struggle to find their place, The Woodhall School is where miracles happen.

As a student i can say truly that any student would regret going to this school. The system of accountability is a joke and the faculty and administration do not complete of fulfill their responsibilities and then attempt to blame the students and duck responsibility.

Our son attended Woodhall for 3 years, beginning with repeating 10th grade. He had just been diagnosed with Asperger's. The first year, he was angry and withdrawn. Then he chose to return because he realized that the teachers were truly positive, proactive, and caring -- Just like Mr. Woodhall, EVERYONE cares about the young gentlemen of Woodhall. Our son ended up excelling, taking all 3 AP courses that were offered and getting a score of 5 on all 3 exams. The teaching is outstanding (equivalent to top prep schools, but much more personal). Our son just finished his freshman year at a top university, earning a GPA of 4.0. He will be applying to graduate school or medical school. Most importantly, he now likes himself! That is the greatest gift of all. Woodhall is not for everyone, but Mr. Woodhall will talk with prospective students and their parents to help determine whether this is right for you. They teach the core values of Communication and Accountability. It prepares both the students and their parents for the future with a sense of direction and confidence. We are deeply indebted to Woodhall for helping our son find himself.
