Parma Heights' Incarnate Word Academy is a private Catholic education alternative for students from prekindergarten to eighth grade. A recipient of the National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence award, which recognizes exemplary schools nationwide, the academy is at the cutting edge of effective education.
Students are taught using the tools of today, including iPads, in classrooms that integrate interactive experiences, such as augmented reality. Outside of the classroom, students take their pick with over 40 extracurricular options, run the show with their own digital broadcast studio, and explore in an advanced technology lab. Tuition starts at $5,500 for kindergarten to eighth grade students, with separate costs for preschool broken down into either a full or half day’s education. Financial aid is also available.
The curriculum for first through fifth graders focuses on strong study skills, critical thinking, problem-solving and reading comprehension. Middle schoolers go through programs that prepare them for high school, such as Algebra I, analysis of various language arts, hands-on science experiences and a cumulative study of world and American history. The school also stresses values of the Catholic faith throughout its instruction and activities.
Education is key to a growing mind, and at Incarnate Word Academy, children have the tools and opportunities to learn and explore — inside and outside of the classroom.

As a teacher at IWA the support that is received from administration is superb. Administration gives continuous opportunities for teachers to continue to expand their education and be able to successfully teach to the more then 25 different nationalities that are represented at IWA. The student to teacher ratio is 15-1 which allows teachers to be able to commit ourselves to inspire the students to continue to learn and succeed.
