Academic Resources

The Bolton Sullivan Information Commons is the ideal place to learn, share, connect, create, and relax.

The Information Commons is intended to foster 21st Century skills for students and faculty alike. Thus, it is equipped with space for group study and collaborative learning; high speed internet; and welcoming spaces for serious work, reading and relaxation. Equipped with a team of faculty and technology experts, the IC enables students, faculty and staff to fulfill their information and research needs, while also providing one-on-one academic support in a variety of disciplines.

The Bolton Sullivan Information Commons features a magnificent stained glass window of Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat and a child. The window was originally installed in 1924 in the main building of Barat College, and was given to Woodlands in 2008 by the Barat Educational Foundation. Doors on either side of the window open to a beautifully landscaped interior courtyard where students are able to read and study.

The Learning Program (LP) at Woodlands Academy offers supportive services for students who require a more structured and individualized approach to a college preparatory curriculum.

For more than 30 years, our unique program has helped students with mild, learning disabilities and other disorders achieve success and accomplish their goals. Our program focuses on growing empathy, advocacy, skill development and empowerment.

Learning Program specialists provide individualized instruction during regularly scheduled periods. Students are also mainstreamed in their academic classes. A Student Support Plan is written on the basis of a student’s diagnostic profile and learning needs.

LP specialists collaborate and consult with teachers and advisors to facilitate understanding of student needs and maximize student success. Ultimately, in accordance with Sacred Heart Goals, students develop a deep respect for intellectual values, and grow in self-knowledge and develop self-confidence as they learn to deal realistically with their strengths and unique gifts.
