This is a very wonderful place with very involved parents and teachers who genuinely care about the students and their education.

This school is amazing. From the time we first visited, we were impressed by the interest each teacher took in every single student. Although we made an unannounced visit, every teacher was actively teaching. We moved our 2nd grader and kindergartner from a local public school. Our 2nd grader was not doing well - academically or socially. Our kindergartner didn't like school, and every time I'd pop in for a visit, her teacher had the TV on. Not here - the teaching is hands on and the teachers really figure out what each student needs to do to learn. Our children have blossomed and developed a love of learning. The principal knows each student by name, and they love him. He is extremely dedicated, and wants the best for each child.

My son is in Kindergarten at Northwoods and Mrs. Clouse has really shown him what a teacher is all about. She is kind, loving, encouraging, enthusiastic and she loves those kids. Northwoods is a very small school and that is very good for the kids, the principal knows everyone and the kids love him. The kids get a lot of time with the teachers because the class ratio's are very low. I only hope that we will stay in Redding for the next 8 yrs so we don't ever have to leave this school. It has been so good for our son, he is making friends and started Reading the end of September! I highly recommend this school to anyone who doesn't want thier child to get lost in a big school, who wants their child to be nurtured and encouraged to grow and learn. WE LOVE NORTHWOODS! :)

Our daughter has attended North Woods Discovery School since the 2002-2003 school year. She is now in first grade in a class of only 13 children (the K-8 school is only allowed to have 200 children enrolled). Ever since her first day, she has loved going to school. All of the teachers are exceptional and know every child by name. They even have alternatives for children that do not celebrate certain holidays such as Halloween. Great communication between parents and teachers is a constant. Just this past year, our daughter was found to be in need of hearing aids. Before she received them, the teachers in kindergarten, first and second grade spent time with the children to ready them for our daughters transition to the hearing world. When she finally received them, all the children were excited and helped her transition smoothly with nothing but compassion and caring.
