Woodland School (Independent School in Portola Valley)

Located just west of 280 at Alpine Road, Woodland is an independent day school that offers a joyful approach to learning in a diverse and inclusive environment for students in early childhood through eighth grade. Empowering, Nurturing Education We specialize in education that empowers students by nurturing each individual's voice, intellect and character. At Woodland School, we also believe that students learn to their potential when they are inspired. With rich content and an emphasis on student-driven projects, students are empowered and encouraged to be active and engaged learners. Kindness is in the Curriculum We focus on character building because it takes both strength of mind and heart to live with integrity, to find one's passions, and to create meaningful change in the world.
