Woodlawn School is a private independent school in Mooresville, North Carolina in Iredell County, north of Davidson, North Carolina. Founded in 2002, it has over 200 students in grades K through 12. The Head of School is Adam Schapiro, who joined Woodlawn's staff in 2016. Woodlawn was accredited in 2009 by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Southern Association of Independent Schools, and was re-accredited in 2014.
Woodlawn School was founded in 2002, on a historic piece of property (Wood Lawn) in the burgeoning Lake Norman area. The historic planter's home was originally built in 1836 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. That home was renovated in 2003, named Stinson Hall in honor of its original owner and now serves as the school's administration building. The school's first major building project, completed in 2008 at a cost of $2.8 million, was the construction of an upper school classroom building (Woods Hall) and a gymnasium/auditorium (known as the Red Barn). In 2010, a $1.1 million project was completed which provided 4 additional classrooms (Van Buren Hall) and a multipurpose room/kitchen (The Lodge). In 2016, the school completed construction on the Alumni Track and Field complex, which includes a certified 400-meter, eight-lane track, high jump pit, pole vault pit, two long jump pits, shot put area, and discus area. The interior of the track includes a natural grass soccer field built to NCAA standards.
2010 marked Woodlawn's first graduation ceremony. Despite its small size and young age, Woodlawn has already seen a number of its graduates matriculate to selective colleges (Princeton, Yale, Penn, Williams, Middlebury, Bowdoin, Carleton, Grinnell, NYU, etc.), and qualify for prestigious awards (28 AP Scholars, 10 National Merit Commended Scholars, 1 National Merit Scholarship Winner, 1 National Achievement Scholarship Winner).
The school year is divided into 3 trimesters, and students in grades 6-12 generally take five core courses (English, History, Math, Science, and Spanish) in addition to 2-3 enrichment courses. In upper school, 9 Advanced Placement (AP) courses are offered. Woodlawn is known for its extensive international travel program, online student newspaper, award-winning student yearbook, and integrated experiential curriculum. The school's drama company, the Red Barn Players, performs two major productions each year.
