From The Headmaster

Welcome to Springwood School. On behalf of our faculty and student body we welcome you to an exciting learning environment where Wildcat Pride is real and growing stronger every day. We have been truly blessed to have such fine facilities and a dedicated staff who believe in educating the heart as well as the mind. God has richly blessed our school and has given us a definite direction as we begin a new chapter in the proud tradition of Springwood School.

Our core values are much more than words. They are a beacon inspired by the founding fathers of Springwood which guide every decision we make. These values on which we were founded form the foundation for our future. The Wildcat Way embodies these values and provides direction for students and staff who will be the next generation of leaders in an ever-changing world.

Our commitment to academic excellence thrives in every area of the school from our pre-kindergarten classrooms through our Advanced Placement offerings. Our academic preparation provides students with a rigorous course offering which prepares them for success in any university. Our commitment to institutional excellence is consistent and pervasive and assures our families that Springwood will continue to provide a world-class education for all students.

Finally, our commitment to providing a Christian environment which embraces the spiritual development of every child is very real and very life-changing. From morning devotionals to our “Springwood United” prayer and praise service, Springwood is a partner for the journey with every family we serve.

I encourage you to contact our school and arrange a visit. You will be inspired by what you see.

Until then, God Bless and GO CATS!
Bill Parsons, Headmaster
