We believe having an individualized program, which tailors to each child’s unique needs in a loving environment, is the key to successful learning. Woodland Hills Private School was founded to educate children whose parents believed that one size does not fit all. Over the years with many more families’ support and the needs of our community we have enhanced our program and are committed to its excellence. As you join our school family, you will be welcomed into a strong partnership of home, school and community.
WHPS is a nurturing and caring place with a friendly natural environment. We recognize and value each child’s individual unique traits and encourage and challenge each of them to bring out their full potential. To achieve this goal, our program focuses on a creative, stimulating, challenging and individualized approach. We work with the whole child, fostering independence with caring guidance, which helps build self-confidence, motivates them in all they do and encourages them to become life long learners and to strive for excellence.
A real life, hands on approach helps our children to master their critical, analytical and problem solving skills, enabling them to apply today’s lessons and skills for this ever-changing world.
WHPS definitely ascribes to the ‘it takes a village’ philosophy. Every child has the opportunity to know and interact with all our teachers and staff members. Everyone benefits from each other’s strengths. Parents, teachers, administrators and all staff members work together to assure that each child achieves success.
We also believe that together we are a family and members of a community. With this understanding, the students at WHPS participate in several community service activities. Learning to give back to our family and our community is a vital learning experience for everyone, one that is basic to the tenets of education at WHPS.
Our continued commitment to the education of individuals at WHPS is beyond the pursuit of academic excellence. The development of a well-rounded person with a can do attitude, a responsible and caring citizen who respects his/herself and others’ differences and who appreciates nature and the world around them, is also our goal.
We look forward to welcoming each family into our school and to your active participation in our partnership.
