Why I chose Woodlands: I chose Woodlands because I wanted a unique high school experience in a new environment away from what I was comfortable with. I was determined to find a place where I could have a fresh start in a new place with new people as I started the next phase of my academic journey. I was impressed by Woodlands' tight-knit community and the personal relationships formed between students and teachers. Even if you are hesitant about choosing Woodlands, I encourage you to visit and see the extraordinary benefits of a Sacred Heart education."

An all-girls school wasn't my obvious first choice, but attending Woodlands was the best decision I have ever made. Though academically rigorous, the considerate teachers work to accommodate students' needs. On top of this, the community is like no other. Woodlands girls are kind-hearted and supportive.

Good for the Global Odyssey program and some parts of academics. Having some troubles with diversity and equity. But is a strong, family-like community for some.

Our two daughters loved their Woodlands experience, and the "all-girls' advantages" it afforded, including twice the opportunities to lead, and the freedom to take more academic risks!
