Homepage > Our Schools > Top Rated Schools... Provide A Top Notch Education Schools in the Woodbridge, Virginia area are among the very best in Prince William County. Regardless of the issues involved in your decision making...public, private, traditional or alternative, you are sure to find an outstanding fit for your student. When we moved to Woodbridge, Virginia more than 30 years ago, it was more important to find a good home than it was to immediately locate a perfect learning environment for our daughter. We had a couple years ahead of us to study the local educational system. As it turns out, our children literally grew with it! After a few years in a private academic preschool, both our children were enrolled in the public system. Later, our only residential move within Woodbridge resulted in a complete change of boundaries. These boundaries were, thankfully, more in line with the various residential neighborhoods, particularly ours... Where your children go to school obviously depends entirely on the neighborhood you decide to live in and which schools fall within those particular boundaries. Here are the approved attendance boundaries for Prince William County. Once you've found a place to call home, refer to the PWC School website. The "Find Your School" link is currently unavailable. An ever growing population base also means new buildings to accommodate new students. Still on the drawing boards or in the planning stages? It is always good to determine if any such plans will affect your new neighborhood. Early Learning Not all child care and daycare facilities in Woodbridge include preschool academic programs. Many, however, do provide a variety of enrichment programs. However, if looking for an academic program, check into whether the curriculum is based on simple, age appropriate social, math, and language programs or whether they offer a standardized, structured curriculum in these skills. Listed below are some of the larger early learning centers offering academic programs: The Goddard School KinderCare Learning Centers Minnieland Country Day Prince William Academy KinderCare, Minnieland and Prince William Academy also extensive summer camp programs.
