Woodward Academy emphasizes a strong and diverse liberal arts education for students of all ages. At the earliest grades, both performing and visual arts play a part of the curriculum. Students learn about history and techniques involved in various art forms as they develop an appreciation for the arts. Please navigate to the links to the left for more information about our programs. There is a school-wide program each spring at the High Museum, here is more about our sixth year offering this program:
