The Woodhall School, a non-public academic institution located in Bethlehem, Connecticut, was founded in the early 1980's. Sally Campbell Woodhall and Dr. Jonathan A. Woodhall, the school's founders, desired a school where male students could excel at academic and non-academic activities. Some of the students had unresolved issues at other schools.
