Planning for life after Washington Academy begins shortly after a student walks through the doors. It’s WA’s goal each year to have every grade 12 student go on to a post-secondary program whether it’s college, enlisting in the military, or entering a certification program after high school.

The following suggestions will be useful for your student during their time at WA:

Learn
It will ultimately be to the students benefit to take courses that challenge them. It is WA’s goal to help students build a high school transcript that shows that they have explored rigorous courses and varied academic subjects.

Explore
Washington Academy encourages students to take every opportunity they can find to explore different interests. These experiences contribute to their journey to find a field of study or a profession that suits them. More importantly, these experiences contribute to their development as a lifelong learner.

Visit
Visiting colleges and universities is key when deciding on where a student would like to pursue higher education. It’s also important for students to take the opportunity to intern or job shadow someone who works in a field of interest.

Ask
Washington Academy’s teachers, coaches, and advocates are here to help. If a student doesn’t understand something, they are encouraged to be proactive in asking questions. If additional help in a subject is needed, teachers are here for individual help outside of class and will also pair a student with a peer tutor.
