Unique Assets The large percentage of children who come to Woodward with limited or no ability to speak English is a challenge to the staff and administration. However, the international population creates an opportunity for unusually rich cultural experiences for all who attend. Children from all over the world learn that harmony and co-operation are possible in any situation as long as respect for each individual is exhibited. |
