What Parents Should Know

Woodward Academy is a large school: 2,478 students. Size usually brings more course choices and activities than a smaller school can staff, but kids can also blend into the crowd. Ask how the school keeps students known and supported.

At 9.5:1 students to teachers, Woodward Academy sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

Woodward Academy is private, so it runs independently of the local district and sets its own curriculum. That freedom cuts both ways depending on what you want for your child. If you're considering it, start with the practical questions: tuition, financial aid, and how admissions work.
