    The Woodhall School

    Bethlehem, CT

    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. Plus, the founders wanted to keep the student population small (under 50 students) for better individualized attention. Today, Mathew Campbell Woodhall, who heads the school, follows his parents' mission for the student population. For example, approximately 20 faculty members work with students in small groups.

The sports and activities program operates six days a week. The male student body has different activities from which to choose. As an example,…
