The 2023-2024 academic year celebrates the 40th anniversary of the founding of The Woodhall School.

Four decades ago, Sally Campbell Woodhall and Jonathan A. Woodhall, a handful of dedicated educators, and some family friends shared a dream to create a different kind of school for boys: Where the mind, body, and soul of a boy is one; Where adult mentors and students dispense with labels, believing that ninety-nine percent of learning happens outside the classroom; Where an individualized approach addresses the needs of the whole boy: his intellectual, physical, moral, and spiritual growth. Where other schools have said “no,” The Woodhall School has said “yes.”

A generation of boys has become the Gentlemen of Woodhall, and the school continues to provide opportunities for success for bright young men, who for a variety of reasons, have yet to realize their full potential. The school’s motto, Soli ispi Adesse, translates to “Be present to (the student) himself alone.” At Woodhall, we are present to the whole student. We meet the boy where he is rather than demand an expectation of where he should be.
