"My time at WSA has been a solid foundation to stand on, both academically and personally. WSA allowed me the flexibility to explore my passions while maintaining a high level of academic rigor, and both of these aspects of my education have opened the door to the amazing opportunities I’ve had in college and my career."

"West Sound Academy prepared me for college. Academically, I felt that I came in much more prepared than some of my peers. I had a much better understanding of how to create college-level work and manage my time. But the real game-changer, in my experience, was the maturity and worldliness that I gained as a result of attending WSA. I went into college as a confident student who already had an idea of what I wanted to do. I was able to make connections and thrive in a way that I would not have without the support I received at WSA."

"WSA has a diverse, embracing, and caring environment, teaching me how to engage with the world, with others, and with myself with a critical and empathetic mind. WSA takes care of each student and guides me to find and explore my interests. Academically, we can pick classes customized to our needs and have mindful advisors and teachers giving helpful suggestions along the way. In WSA, I also learned to improve my leadership skills, public speaking confidence, and time management ability. Overall, WSA is full of opportunities and helps prepare comprehensively for my later life."

"Going to West Sound and completing the IB program gave me the skills necessary to succeed in university. From the research skills that students begin developing as early as middle school to all of the electives which encourage students to step outside of their comfort zones, the teachers at WSA provided me with opportunities to grow in my academic confidence to the point where all university assignments seem manageable. With the support of my teachers both in class and in the college application process, I was able to get a full tuition scholarship to the college of my choice."
