It feels like home.
I genuinely expected it to feel like many things, but not home. The Woodlands Christian Academy – an independent, Christ-centered college preparatory school for grades K-12 in The Woodlands - is warm and vibrant and unpretentious and, just… in a word… lovely.
That energy I feel on campus. How would I describe it? On a beautiful day, “The Grove” serves as a secure space for eager students to congregate at picnic tables with friends or to leaf through a textbook. Younger ones revel in the school’s expansive, open playground that’s worthy of its own park. Strong athletics. Performing & fine arts. Mission projects. Class trips and retreats. Author visits. Nutritious, chef-prepared meals.
My visit to the Brookwood Store became the most pleasant shopping experience I had last week! Have you visited? The pop-up shop is open 10am - 5pm Tuesdays thru Saturdays and is located at 2025 Hughes Landing across the parking lot from Whole Foods. When I popped in, a treasure trove of high-quality handcrafted soaps, body creams, candles, decorative art, food products, and plants welcomed me in to gleefully spend the $50 gift card I’d received for Christmas.
