Parental Involvement
Woodcrest parents are invested in their children’s education, figuratively, and literally! Enrolling in a private school and paying tuition offers parents peace of mind knowing they are getting the most out of the private school cost, actively participating in school activities, volunteering, and engaging in their child’s educational development. Not only does this help your child, but it also improves the school as a whole!

We require our students to meet academic standards, but our small class sizes and innovative methods give them all the resources they need to succeed. The major benefit of private school’s smaller class sizes is the freedom it gives teachers to ensure no child is left behind. If your child struggles with any subject, our teachers will provide the attention they need to grasp the material.
