Communications

The Communications Program

The Communications Program unites and sustains all aspects of the school community. Throughout their time at Woodhall, students develop skills of self-reflection, self-expression, and accountability. The purpose of the Communications program is to give students the opportunity to express themselves in an open, compassionate, and honest manner and to learn how to confront themselves and others with respect, integrity, and accountability. Ultimately, students learn how to share their feelings and relate to others.

Communications Groups

The school believes that all adolescents benefit from learning how to express their complex, often contradictory feelings as they develop greater intrapersonal and interpersonal awareness. Communications Groups meet twice weekly, under the guidance of a faculty group facilitator. Students and teachers work together to learn to become self-reflective and to express their thoughts, feelings and experiences.

Committee for Accountability

The weekly Committee for Accountability provides a forum where students and teachers can hold community members accountable. Together, students and teachers help individual community members make positive changes in their lives at school and beyond. This challenging and intimate process provides for personal growth in a safe and caring community of peers and adults.
