Woodland  Prayer

O God, bless this day we share together.
Help us to stand for the hard right against the easy wrong.
Save us from habits that harm.
Teach us to work as hard and to play as fair
in your sight alone as if all the world saw.
Forgive us when we are unkind and help us
to forgive those who are unkind to us.
Keep us ready to help others at some cost to ourselves.
Send us chances to do some good every day
and so to grow more in your grace and favor.
Amen.

Philosophy

Woodland Country Day School fosters a collaborative community of students, faculty, and parents dedicated to creating an enriching environment for intellectual, social, physical, and moral growth. Our rigorous yet achievable academic expectations ensure students build a strong foundation of skills while developing essential study habits that prepare them for secondary education. Small class sizes promote close student-faculty relationships, providing a nurturing and supportive atmosphere.

Woodland’s well-rounded academic and co-curricular programs encourage students to reach their fullest potential by fostering self-esteem, confidence, responsibility, and leadership. With a diverse yet close-knit enrollment, the school welcomes students from various ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds, reflecting the vibrant South Jersey communities we serve.

Parental involvement is a vital part of the educational experience at Woodland, strengthening the sense of community and collaboration among families, students, and faculty. This partnership creates a supportive foundation as students engage with new ideas, skills, and challenges, ensuring a well-rounded and enriching educational journey.
