It was the belief of the founders that it was their responsibility, as Christians, and people of God, to establish a school in which all of its courses and activities would honor Jesus Christ, and would lead students to a deeper understanding of Him, and what it means to serve Him. For several years it operated from several Church facilities in the Cambridge and Kitchener–Waterloo areas. In 1983, the school moved into its current location, 1058 Spitzig Road, R.R. #1, Breslau, ON. The facility had a large expansion and renovation which took place in 1999.
Woodland, currently with 251 students, draws students from an area bounded by Ayr, Cambridge, Rockwood, New Dundee Listowel, Drayton, and Waterloo encompassing Kitchener and Guelph.
