Following our principles of Integral FormationSM and academic excellence, our comprehensive program provides a solid, coherent foundation of knowledge, concepts and skills for lifelong learning. The program addresses the physical, intellectual, social, emotional, and moral development of children in grades preschool to eighth grade. Given our educational philosophy and what we know about how children develop and learn, we have created high, yet reasonable, academic expectations for our students. To help students achieve these academic standards, we provide a curriculum that is rich in content and which uses sound, effective pedagogical methods. As a Catholic school, our program stresses acquisition of a broad general culture enlightened by faith for the service of others.
Academic excellence is not merely the acquisition of knowledge and skills, but also the development of intellectual habits and good character. Woodmont students are given the tools to acquire those attitudes and virtues which characterize intellectually and socially mature persons, such as perseverance and completion of tasks, clear expression of thoughts and feelings, self-reflection, as well as friendliness and appropriate manners. Character formation permeates the day of our students and is empasized through the virtue program, an integral part of our curriculum. Founded on the educational philosophy of Integral FormationSM, the program forms the student as a whole person according to the truths and principles of Christian anthropology and the Catholic faith. It accomplishes this by building the foundation for future years of schooling through experiences and instruction that allow for the child to grow and develop in intellectual, human, spiritual and apostolic capacities and habits.
