Description
A specialized K-12-day school, John G. Wood (JGW), teaches students with emotional and behavioral challenges that impact their academic success. The goal is to transition students back to their public school as soon as possible. JGW includes a broad range of courses for children in kindergarten through grade 12 and Extended School Year (ESY) services are available during the summer. Some residents of VHBG's Transitional Living programs attend JGW in addition to students who commute from multiple localities in the Richmond region. Students take a full range of academic courses that include CTE classes, online courses and electives with the ability to earn or work toward a Standard, Alternative, or General Education Diploma (GED). Self-contained classrooms are also available for more intensive support. JGW is licensed by the Virginia DOE, accredited by VAISEF, and aligned with Virginia SOLs.
