Williams Scholar Academy
Who We Are
WSA comprises a community of educators from local school districts and around the United States who seek to employ best practices to create paths of access to high academic outcomes in an equitable manner.
Williams Scholar Academy's model combines academic development with embedded supports where needed, character competence on a continual basis, and connectedness to the community.
OUR SCHOOL
OUR SCHOOL
The mission of Williams Scholar Academy (WSA) is to foster college-ready graduates by providing a learning community where all scholars, regardless of learning style, limits, or abilities are empowered to become innovative thinkers through their learning experiences, which engages them in the interconnectedness of the academic disciplines with cultural, character, and social responsibility.
The vision of WSA is to provide the opportunity for 6th-12th grade scholars to achieve post-secondary success and become leaders in their communities, Louisiana, and beyond. We envision a future in which our scholars graduate from Williams Scholar Academy and matriculate into colleges and universities of their choice and, empowered by education, choose their own paths in life.
