NDIVIDUALIZED OTUDY PROGRAM ' To the questions of your life, you are the only answer. To the problems of your life, you are the only solution. The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it. ' I A unique facet of Woodward Academy ' s aca- demic program offerings is the Individualized Study Program, directed by Mrs. Selma Ridgway. The program is implemented in all three schools and gives certain students specific and special aca- demic attention. The Lower School classes are very small and select which enables teachers to place a special and concentrated emphasis on phonetics, reading and mathematical skills. The Middle School classes, also small, center on strengthening the student ' s learned skills of orga- nization and note-taking. The Upper School ISP classes focus on completely remediating the stu- dent ' s learning disabilities which enable students to attend regular classes by their junior year. The ISP program is recognized as one of the foremost in the nation and continues to emphasize the ex- cellence of the opportunities offered at Wood- ward. 1. In ISP Support, Miss Belsy Box spends many hours providing extra help. 2. Freshman Scott Curry learns that writing a theme will be much easier if he first makes out an outline. 3. Mrs. Susan Sanders answers a question Percy Stock had concerning a period of American History. 74 INDIVIDUALIZFD STUDY PROGRAM

hysical tducation Lite produces endless competitions that demand the supreme physical effort. If you can set your heart upon the goal, not on the prize, and are motivated and willing to struggle, sweat and strive. you can succeed and win at all you attempt. This is the challenge, the pain — the joy of being ?i « ;. 3;sv:v The Physical Education Department, directed by Coach Johnny Stallings, aims to give all stu- dents a chance to participate in various physical activities. All students are required to take P.E. courses throughout their years at the Academy. They may become involved in the intramural sports that are coordinated throughout the Acad- emy or participate in the structured program of P.E. classes. The department aims at all times to give each student a chance to participate in var- ious physical activities which not only aid in the physical development of a student, but also allows him to perfect his talents in physical endeavors. The department also teaches the student to ap- preciate the efforts required for team and individ- ual sports and the necessary quality of good sportsmanship. By providing an outlet for physical aggression, the department helps students devel- op mental capabilities as well as physical aware- ness. 1.
