In the year 1996, Mike Farley and Stephanie Rancour cut the ribbon to Traverse Bay Community School as students eagerly awaited entrance. These early years created the base from which all things have sprung at Woodland School. Over 20 years later, Woodland School is an established and vibrant learning community that has had a profound impact on so many.
Woodland School is proud to be a school that supports student growth from kindergarten to eighth grade. When students finish their time with us, they are prepared to finish high school and go on to bigger and better things.
