At Woodridge Fine Arts Magnet Academy, we take pride in our academic and our Fine Arts programs. Believing that each student has the ability to reach his or her full potential, our teachers and staff nurture each child's individualism, teaching the student to set goals and equipping him or her with the necessary skills to attain them. We take the time to help students fine tune both their pursuit for academic greatness and unique fine arts skills through integration
With the implementation of the Atlanta-based Ron Clark Academy House system, we have given students an opportunity for fun and healthy competition through a motivational points system. Each of the six houses (Isibindi - Courage, Reveur - Dreamers, Amistad - Friendship, Ohana - Unity, Samana - Respect, Altruismo - Givers) has its own meaning, chant, and hand signal. Staff and students are placed into a house through house reveal 'parties', and immediately begins earning points for his or her house by following the Woodridge Essential 12 Rules or just by doing amazing things worthy of extra special recognition. Special incentives, privileges, and parties come with being the house with the most points at the end of set time periods, i.e. weekly, nine-weeks, or semester. The House fun and excitement keeps the morale high and makes Woodridge Fine Arts Academy a lively place to learn!
