About the Learning Program

Provide a positive, student centered environment in which all students will develop academic, social, emotional, and practical skills and attitudes in order to enable them to be lifelong learners and productive, responsible citizens in a diverse society. Woodland Hills proposes to allocate financial and staffing resources to create a school where all students are actively engaged, instructional programs are supported, and parents are informed and involved in this learning environment of varying student abilities, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
