This month’s front cover features Judy Thigpen, Head of School and Laurie Mazor, Principal of Wood Acres School along with several of the school’s students. From humble beginnings as a preschool in 1969 to a 9-acre campus with hundreds of students today, Woods Acres is the oldest, private independent school in the area. Celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, Wood Acres has become well-known for its accelerated academic curriculum, emphasis on the integration of STEM learning experiences, and commitment to teaching Spanish as a vibrant second language for students.
“Wood Acres School partners with amazing families who want to provide their students with the best education in a safe and beautiful environment,” shares Judy Thigpen, Head of School.
