Women's Academy of Excellence

The WomenÂ’s Academy of Excellence is an all-girls public high school, serving grades 9-12. Our mission is to create a community of lifelong learners, to nurture the intellectual curiosity and creativity of young women and to address their developmental needs. The school community cultivates dynamic, participatory learning, enabling students to achieve academic success at many levels, especially in the fields of math, science, and civic responsibility. Our scholars are exposed to a challenging curriculum that encourages them to achieve their goals while being empowered to become young women and leaders. Our Philosophy is GIRLS MATTER!
