WYWLA is filled with great opportunities for all of their students. Any student can be guided towards a career through careful instruction by the staff. They are big on college readiness, which is tough in middle school, but it is worth it by the end of your time there. Anyone who is focused on school and their future career should consider WYWLA.

Some things that I like about Wake Young Women'a Leadership Academy is the support system, sister hood, and the challenges. The courses that we take are mostly all honor courses that will prepare us for college. The courses will be hard but with the hard work and dedication you will be able to get over the obstacles. Our sisters are always there to help and support each other. 6th-10th grade prepares us for college because in the 11th grade we begin to take college courses at Saint Augustine's University, which we are well prepared for.

I enjoyed being able to get college credits. I enjoyed most of my high school teachers. However bullying is a serious problem. It was not properly addressed. We were also not treated as respectful women. We were talked down to. The teachers did not act as if we were in college.

It has gone from mediocre to poor. They do not follow or promote their leadership model. Seem to promote girl power instead. Also, the university they are associated with is not accredited. This particular Leadership Academy needs an overhaul from school leadership to university association.

In my personal opinion, WYWLA is a great school. I feel so blessed to be able to attend and have learned a lot. There are a numerous amount of leadership opportunities in the school and in the community. There are also 16 clubs offered after-school. Through these activities, I have really learned ab...

I love this school! It is challenging and fun and I have improved a lot in my two years that I have spent here. I have many good friends and have seen nothing but hard work in all of the teachers/staff members. We have many projects and many special things that are unique to our school, such as Day...
