I had a great experience at Wilson Early College Academy. From the first day of school, I felt welcomed. The early college provided me with plenty of leadership opportunities, which helped me grow as a person. The teachers genuinely care about you, and are willing to help whenever they can.

They worked with me during my mental health struggles in my 9th and 10th-grade years. The teachers actually care deeply for the students, they help and support in any way they can. The campus isn't too big and the class sizes are perfect, about a 1:16 teacher to student ratio. I've grown in character through my five years here. They give you classes that actually prepare you for college.

I love Wilson Early College. At first I was hesitant to go there all my friends were going to regular high school but my education came first. Even though I lost them I made some new amazing lifelong friends at WECA. Based off of my experience I would inspire anybody to take that chance on yourself to do something that will benefit you over trying to please everybody else. Im glad I went to early college and now will be receiving two degrees.
