There isn't a school quite like the Willows Academy. Since my first day there, I have been surrounded by a friendly and familial atmosphere. The small class sizes allow for quick bonding and one is able to immediately form long-lasting friendships. The teachers are incredibly understanding and patient; they make time for each individual student. To be surrounded by so many hard-working and faithful women is truly a blessing, and many of them treat their students as friends. In an all-female environment, a girl is able to learn and develop into a woman with ease and pursue virtually and career path she can dream of. However, because of its close-knit community, TWA doesn't offer as many outside opportunities as other schools, but it continues to expand throughout the years and develop its curriculum in the interest of the students. Going to the Willows was the best decision I have made!
The Willows Academy is a very small, all girls, catholic high school. The school is very welcoming and friendly. The small grade sizes guarantees easy to make personal connections with fellow students and staff. I am very introverted and have a hard time making friends, but when I look back on my experience, each year I became more and more open with my classmates. I became friends with everyone in my grade and students in other grades. The Willows has many amazing teachers that are easy to talk to. If I ever had a problem in a class I could go to the teacher and ask for help. The teachers are very friendly and understanding.
My time at the Willows truly was the best time of my life! Every time I think about it, I long to go back. Not only do the Theology teachers teach the Catholic teachings spectacularly well, but almost every teacher/administrative LIVES the faith and it is enormously apparent in everyday life at this school! That quality alone is priceless when it comes to choosing the right school for your daughter.
