History.
The Woodlands School was opened in the year 1969. While the first phase of its present building was under construction, classes operated within Springfield Public School building. In September 1970, the students and staff moved to the new building, and The Woodlands became a combined elementary and secondary school. 
The facility received a major renovation throughout 2016. This renovation implemented a new open concept design to the front of the school, and also removed the old library building attached to the school, replacing it with a new elementary classroom wing. An elevator was later built near the front of the school.
Academics.
Elementary students.
Students in grades 7 and 8 are in a full-year schedule of two terms per year, with subject taught on rotation on a ten-day cycle. Report cards for each term are sent home with each student in January and June, and progress reports are sent home in October. Elementary classes continue throughout the secondary exam periods in January and June.
Secondary students.
Courses are offered at the Enhanced, Academic, Applied, and Locally Developed levels. The Woodlands also offers a gifted education program. Students currently residing in Mississauga who are identified as gifted through the Canadian Cognitive Abilities Test are given the option of attending Woodlands, with transportation provided by the Peel District School Board. Enhanced courses teach the same material as Academic courses, but the manner of teaching and style of evaluation vary based on the needs of the students.
There is also a Developmentally Delayed Program within the school, where small numbers of students receive intensive support from classroom teachers and educational assistants. 
The Woodlands School consistently places among the top academic schools in the Peel District School Board and in Ontario. Students excel in extracurriculars like Debate and DECA, and there is a strong music program, with students placing at national & international festivals.
