McGinnis Woods Country Day School
The curriculum at McGinnis Woods Country Day School is “hands-on, minds-on” and not solely textbook-driven. While an emphasis is placed on STEM, we engage the whole child through the arts, teams, clubs, and community service. Students enjoy field trips and in-house programs to reinforce materials presented in the classroom. Our school enrolls infants through eighth grade.
We are currently offering both in-person classes and a virtual option, Class Fusion that allows students to participate in live classes from home.

A comprehensive plan for reopening the school was developed with the health and well-being of students and staff in mind. An extensive set of guidelines and procedures have been developed as part of the reopening plan. Students have the option to come back on campus with additional safety measures now in place, including:
- Temperature and wellness checks
- Physical separation
- Limited movement
- Frequent cleaning
Virtual Option: ClassFusion
For families not wishing to return to campus, McGinnis Woods has developed a virtual option, ClassFusion that allows students to participate in live classes from home. The technology allows students in the classroom to see and hear students at home on large displays. Similarly, students at home will have a complete view of the classroom and all activities taking place.
ClassFusion at McGinnis Woods is an outstanding opportunity for students to participate in our superior academic program while remaining at home. This program allows students at home to join their on-campus teachers and peers for a full day of learning. These students will participate in classroom discussions and activities just as if they were on campus.
Some features of ClassFusion include:
- Students are provided with iPad devices pre-loaded with all the tools necessary to participate in ClassFusion
- Advanced camera technology that allows a view of the entire classroom or a close-up view of a specific activity
- Far-field microphone system to ensure teachers and students can be heard no matter where they happen to be positioned in the classroom
- Streamlined, digital submission of assignments through online tools
Unlike offerings at other schools, our program doesn’t require the parent to be a teacher. Instead, we combine advanced technology with our outstanding academics and incredible teachers to deliver an exceptional program to those students enrolled in ClassFusion.
