Woodward Academy

My two chilldren graduated from Woodward Academy . It was a wonderful experience for our whole family. Woodward is known for their academic excellence, and I have to say they live up to their reputation! I recommend Woodward for any family that places education as a top priority. This is not an inexpensive school, but in my opinion, worth it all. By far, the best private school in the Atlanta area.

Horriable, overpriced school. What more shall I say? They only want the money! My friend went to it, she said it was the worst school that she has ever went to, and now they have no house due to the cost of tuition. Also, my other friend goes to it, and can not even buy food anymore! So, people' s lives ruined, so that woodward can make some money.

Having recently moved from abroad, I have to highly commend the admissions staff and teachers who helped and assisted our family in getting settled and integrated in to this wonderful school. We visited many of the private schools in Atlanta, and Woodward Academy gave us the warmest feeling and welcomed us from the moment of our first visit. This was also picked up by our two young children. They have been happy from day one and we are thrilled to be part of this wonderful school.

I am an 8th grade student who came here in the 6th grade. Just to give a reference point, my standardized test scores would put me in the top .5% of all private school students. In my first year inthe 6th grade, i scraped A's without doing most of my work and without studying. However the difference between 6th and 7th grade is HUGE and anyone wanting to come here should know that. I went from A's with no effort to B's while studying and doing all of my work.(Granted, I was moved from the standard track to all honors classes.) Moving on, I have participated in the football, wrestling and lacrosse programs for the past two years and thought they were all great. The students are nice and I have found that they are less picky about what you wear than most of my friends from public school, debunking that common stereotype. I know this was long but I love woodward and had a lot to say.

An exceptional school for a student who thrives or requires structure and a strong College Prep environment. Woodward is amazingly divers with a very competent staff and substantial campus. This school will encourage independence and performance from your child.

Woodward is a great school. All of the teachers are committed to teaching students. The students are awesome and they teach you even if you don't notice it. Everyone on campus is friendly. All of the people very approachable. All the students might not live near you but they are great friends. The homework is the right amount, but sometimes a bit much.

I attended Woodward from pre-k to twelth grade and had many positive experiences. Pluses, teachers and administration are incredible, very approachable to students and parents. The school also wants students to excel offering a variety of academic levels. Plenty of variety in sports, fine arts, languages. There is also a nice diverse mix of students and i think that is saying alot for the atlanta area, cons, students live all over metro Atlanta and beyond so there isn't an after school neighborhood feel so to speak. Speaking for my graduating class, friends who went to Lovett, Westminster, pace, marist on a whole, were better balanced between studies and social life.

While we were stationed at Fort McPherson my son attended the Woodward Academy. I love the Woodward Academy. Hated being at Fort McPherson, but would have stayed just to keep my kid at Woodward! Let's just say everything at Woodward is perfect! I have NOTHING negative to say about the school. I wish we could take Woodward with us wherever we go. We miss everyone there. My son is getting ready to go into his fifthe school (Go Army!) and no other school compares! If you get the opportunity to get into Woodward - GO! Absolute Best!

I attended Woodward Academy from Pre-K to 5th grade and then I moved to Colorado. I loved the school. It is one of the best schools I will ever go to. I really miss all of my friends and teachers. I didn't like that my best friends lived on the other side of town though. I miss the hard academics that made me strive more. to get A's. I think this is one of the best schools and I thank my parents for sending me there.
