Hands-On, Authentic Learning 

We transform students from passive learners to active, passionate directors of their own education. 

Students apply their academic knowledge to real-world situations, deepening their understanding of the material while gaining practical knowledge and developing valuable life skills.

Advanced Placement Exam Preparation

Our Advanced Placement exam preparation focused curriculum keeps our students a step ahead of the curve.

WSA students have access to classes designed to prepare them for the advanced placement exams across the sciences, composition, history, and more. They will dig in with hands-on projects to help reinforce the lesson beyond conceptual understanding and into lifelong practical application.
