Mission and Vision

We are a diverse community committed to empowering students and staff to respect multiple perspectives and backgrounds. We strive to plan an innovative curriculum to empower our young people to take an active role in their learning by engaging in deep conversation, cross-curricular connections, and assessing learning at the moment. In addition, we will support students in leveraging their abilities through social and emotional learning (SEL), team building, collaboration (CREW), and voice through numerous leadership opportunities.

At WAELs, we believe in creating an Empowering, Challenging, and Engaging environment for our young people. We are a unique academy where teachers will become students and students will become teachers.

At WAELs We Can:

• Empower life long learners through academics that are tailored to reach the needs of every students' ability. 
• Challenge students to become active members in their learning and designing the culture of WAELs.
• Engage in a curriculum that supports the uniqueness of our students and supports their diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
• Create a community of empathy and love by learning each child's social and emotional needs while building relationships with families.
