Rohan Woods is most certainly a special place. People considering Rohan Woods will often ask what makes Rohan Woods different. And, while the answer can vary from person to person, there are some pillars upon which our school family is built.
We believe that the true reward of education is the knowing smile of a confident child. Rohan Woods fosters the family experience that builds this confidence. Here, we believe children deserve to be inspired, to learn and grow into natural leaders in their own way. We want children to feel safe in the knowledge that we are devoted to upholding the promise and potential of every individual in our caring community. We pride ourselves in meeting each child where he or she is on any given day, and tailoring our interactions around his or her growth to ensure success at the next level.
We are more than a school that measures success by grades or the size of our endowment. We are a family committed to enriching the lives of our children — by taking the time to listen, understand and help. At Rohan Woods School, we know the difference a simple smile can make.
We build our unique community with one central theme: children are the heart of our school and all that we do. While strong academics are essential, so, too, are strong minds equipped with the tools to make the right decisions and, with support, to make a purposeful leap of faith. Each of us plays a vital role in preparing them for life and encouraging them to take the necessary risks that lead to growth.
At Rohan Woods we break the rigid traditions that block genuine enlightenment. We welcome the spirit of independence and we join our families in proudly celebrating the joy of knowing that we are their home. We are a place where every child’s independence is celebrated, not extinguished and where people are proud in spirit yet humble in action. We are not, however, just another independent school. We like to think that Rohan Woods is St. Louis’ “Independence School.”
Thank you for visiting our website today. We’ve designed this site with our best effort to share with you a bit more about our school, our core values and the true sense of community our families enjoy; however, we have heard time and again from families that they don’t truly “get” the Rohan Woods experience until they step inside our doors. So, I want to invite you to step inside Rohan Woods School … and discover how a small school can make a big difference in the life of a child.
Best regards,
Kelly Horn
Head of School
