Kindergarten & Elementary |
Welcome to the kindergarten and elementary division of Woodland Hills Private School. As you join our school family, you will be welcomed into a strong partnership of home, school, and community, which  provides our students with a strong foundation of academic skills as well as nurturing social, emotional, and physical growth and well being. Our philosophy is to provide an individualized approach to learning, relating to each child on his/her own level while fostering independence and self reliance. Our goal is to provide an educational environment in which students are stimulated to become thinking, caring, responsible members of society.
The educational program incorporates all aspects of human development ~ social, intellectual, physical,  artistic and moral ~ and strives to integrate learning by guiding students to be curious about all that the world has to offer. Our college preparatory curriculum encourages responsibility and creativity, along with critical thinking and analytical skills, skills that will enable our students to apply what they are learning today to the world they will encounter throughout their school career and later in life. Within our strong academic program, children work at their won pace which encourages and motivates each child to work to their full potential and to be proud of their many accomplishments. Our caring, nurturing environment and nature based setting, also helps our students develop an appreciation of the world around them.
Our well qualified and caring staff works closely with each child, personalizing the program in order to build upon each child’s unique learning strengths. The personal and frequent communication that exists between the staff, parents, administration and the community at large, further strengthens the partnership we build for the mutual benefit of our children.
Our new state of the art facility includes 6 classrooms, infused with natural light, a computer lab, an art and science room, a library and an in the round storytelling area, as well as administration areas. A basketball court, handball court, playground areas, playing fields, the barnyard, along with trees and green areas, complete the setting for our kindergarten and elementary students.
