Parents have coined the term boutique experience when referring to Woodland Hills Private School, which is designed to encourage leadership, independence, responsibility, self-reliance, creativity, and critical thinking. The school's award-winning program is rooted in the belief that the social and emotional curriculum is as important as the academic curriculum. Teachers are deeply engaged in professional development and work as a team to support every student’s learning. Parents participate in a warm, inclusive community and become partners in their children’s education. All of this results in students who have a strong academic and social-emotional foundation for life.
- Program designed to meet the unique needs of gifted & talented children.
- All classrooms have two highly qualified full-time teachers and an average student-teacher ratio of 12:1. Students benefit from a large, diverse peer group while also receiving extensive individualized attention.
- Columbia University's Balanced Literacy program helps students reach their full potential as readers and writers.
- Exclusive Science & Nature Center with over 70 animals goes beyond hands-on learning!

SUPPORTING POSITIVE BEHAVIOR
- CB 101 - MONDAY, JANUARY 28 @ 8:30-10:00 AM (if you missed CB 101, you can still attend CB 201!)
- CB 201 - MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25 @ 5:30-7:30 PM
Please plan to join us for our upcoming Parent/Teacher Workshops, led by Todd Hioki, on building a simple, consistent effective approach to Positive-Behavior Support (PBS). The workshops are titled Challenging Behaviors but are designed to provide ALL parents and teachers with strategies to guide children toward positive behavior.
An effective approach to PBS includes knowing:
-
What to say, what not to say, when to say it; how many times to say it - The power of language in shaping power conflicts
-
How do you physically intervene with defiance or misbehavior? - The role of physical choreography
-
How to partner with your spouse, co-parent or co-teacher - It’s not what you know, but how you practice
-
What’s really going on in your child’s brain and body and how can you help? - Understanding "misbehavior” as a skill gap
The workshops build upon each other and include many videos and examples directly from Todd’s work at Pacific Oaks Children’s School. While we encourage participants to come to both sessions, there will still be a lot of wonderful content and strategies to be gained by attending either CB101 or CB201 if you cannot come to both.
