In rigorous classes like AP Biology and AP Calculus BC, I developed a strong work ethic and effective study habits. My success also stemmed from the dedication of teachers who consistently worked to prepare us for the future and provide a quality education.Ruby RamirezClass of 2025

Support of the Whole Person

Academics, Values, and Spirituality

By rooting everything we do in our cornerstones of Academics, Values and Spirituality, we nourish the spiritual, intellectual and social potential of our students. IWA’s student support team is dedicated to developing each student’s unique strengths and talents. The support team is available to students from acceptance through graduation and beyond. IWA’s counseling department consists of three parts: Academic Advising, College Counseling and Student Wellness.

Dedicated Faculty and Staff

Our Greatest Resource

At the heart of our academic program is our greatest resource: our talented and compassionate teachers who facilitate critical thinking and problem solving skills, which inspire students to love learning. When recent IWA graduates return to campus, they frequently note that their academic preparedness surpassed their college classmates, and they enthusiastically attribute this to our qualified, dedicated and passionate faculty and staff.

Programs that Empower Young Women to Lead and Serve

A Woman of the Word

For students to be successful in a rapidly changing role, they need to be confident communicators and collaborators. Our Young Leaders Program empowers students to become authentic, bold servant leaders. We combine formal curriculum and extra-curricular activities to help each IWA student discover her potential to lead, empower her with methods and practices and inspire her to embrace a future life of personal professional leadership.
