The degree of freedom for students is similar to that of college students. The faculty also works hard to foster these habits in the students, incrementally increasing freedom and expectations of responsibility through the grades. About 25 percent of high school students participate in some form of home school activity. Students enrolled in the program follow the Arlington middle and high school curriculum. H-B Woodlawn offers the same academic program as Arlington's neighborhood middle and high schools, however the style of the delivery of course content varies from the neighborhood schools.
Students take core courses which include mathematics, social studies, language arts and science.
And they may take advanced placement courses as well, just like at the neighborhood schools. The H-B Woodlawn Program shares the Stratford Building with students enrolled in the Stratford Program, a small program that serves students with special educational needs. The Stratford School building has Internet access which was made accessible when the H-B Woodlawn Program students ran the technology wires through the building, cabled the computer lab and designed and initialized the network server. The school has two computer labs, one each for the middle and high school students. Every classroom had Internet access as of fall 1998.
