ABOUT THE SCHOOL GreenWood is a free public K-8 charter school focusing on holistic education. GreenWood was chartered to educate students, engage parents and connect with our community to support a culture of healthy habits for our students to grow academically. Our vision is that every GreenWood student will gain an understanding and appreciation for all aspects of their life. Student achievement includes three dimensions: Mastery of Skills and Knowledge, High-quality Work, and Character. To accomplish our vision, GreenWood uses six core HEALTH Values: Healthy Habits, Environmental Stewardship, Achievement, Leadership, Thinking Creatively and Honoring Diversity. Greenwood partners with EL Education (formerly Expeditionary Learning), a national school organization.
