Story

Woodberry Forest School has a strong commitment to making drama and public speaking vital to the cultural life of the school. Actors, writers, directors, technicians, designers, and public speakers make it possible to actually create culture here. Studying in these areas will give you abilities that benefit you throughout your life. You will learn a reverence for language and for story-telling; you will learn to communicate in front of large groups; you will learn to work as a member of a team and complete large artistic projects; and you will learn to appreciate aesthetic experiences and to understand yourself and your world in a more sophisticated way.

Mission

The purpose of Woodberry Forest School is to develop in its students, under Christian principles, a high sense of honor and moral integrity, a deep respect for sound scholarship, a full acceptance of responsibility, a love of excellence, and a will toward personal sacrifice in service to others. It is likewise its mission, based on these ideals, to develop its students into leaders, to train its students toward a useful contribution to the democratic society in which they live, and to give them thorough preparation for the best colleges and universities consistent with their individual potentials.


The abiding concern of Woodberry Forest School is the personal growth of its students. To this end, the school attempts to provide a broad experience with balanced emphasis on the academic, artistic, physical, and spiritual development of its students. In so doing, the school believes that well-conceived challenges, together with support and encouragement, will instill self-confidence and a striving for continuing excellence throughout life. Woodberry Forest is committed to helping students become individuals whose sense of values and capacity to reason effectively will allow them to deal with important intellectual, ethical, and social problems and to lead rewarding private lives. In keeping with this objective, the faculty is more concerned with teaching students how to think than what to think.


As a community, the school fosters an atmosphere of civility and cooperation, urging its members to treat one another with the respect and consideration they hope to receive in return. The underpinning of that effort is the honor system, which is not so much a rigid code as it is a way of life that is fundamental to the decency of the Woodberry Forest community. The school seeks to maintain a secure and healthy environment for its students to go about the process of growing and learning, in the hope that every student will come to think of Woodberry Forest as a second home.

Reviews
Really neat school -- our son is a different person: ambitious, courteous and organized. Great writing instruction, facilities and sense of community. The kids are very motivated yet its not a pressure-cooker. My husband and I found Woodberry by accident -- we met several alums who highly recommended it, toured it on a whim and were made to feel at home from the start.
