Acorns to oaks
Our unique virtue curriculum, Acorns to Oaks, teaches social-emotional skills and character, based on a developmental sequence of character traits, and utilizing literature from across cultures. We provide inspiring models of men and women of character “virtue” - habits of excellence in how we think, feel, and act - from history and literature, with an emphasis on African American subjects.
Virtue Lessons from our Students
Students in the Woodson Community make monthly Virtue Video Stories reflecting on our virtue curriculum. Watch them all and learn Grace and Courtesy from our friends.
Aligned Curriculum
We have designed unique Montessori lessons that are aligned to TN state standards. Our classrooms are focused on helping students reach their individual growth goals, while our specialized curriculum empowers our students to perform on assessments without teaching to the test.
