Walk into the Woodbourne School and you’ll hear the sounds of enthusiastic voices, power tools humming, basketballs bouncing, and even ballroom dancing. The school offers a full schedule of classes and electives and is accredited by the Maryland State Department of Education. All boys residing in the Residential Treatment Center attend the school, as well as students who are referred from community schools who need a more specialized and intensive school program in order to be successful.

“I’m going to high school, in the 11th grade. After high school, I’m going to college. I don’t know what I want to take up but one of the things I did here that was quite interesting to me was marine biology. I’ll probably take that up and something else.”

Woodbourne SchoolFor every two Woodbourne students, there is one school staff member—equal to or better than many of the region’s independent schools. As a result, we know each boy very well and can design and carry out an Individual Education Plan. We want boys to leave with an understanding of academic subjects along with art, athletics, and technology. Equally important, boys learn appropriate behaviors to ease their transition back to schools in their own communities.
