“Average people have hopes and wishes. Confident people have goals and plans.”

At Willow Bend Academy, we major in success by teaching  students the skill of establishing academic goals for themselves and then working for their accomplishment.

Alumni often report that the most important asset they took from Willow Bend Academy to college and the workplace is the ability to establish personal goals and see their fulfillment. Alumni who are now college students often state that their peers struggle to succeed because they never learned to set their own goals.  They are accustomed to having the instructor establish their goals by way of assignments. (If the teacher didn’t assign it, I shouldn’t bother.)

The faculty strives to lead  students to become confident people with both academic and lifetime goals. Because each teacher works daily with only eight students, specific goals can be achieved at a pace suited to the individual students’ interests and abilities.

Seeing daily growth in students and having alumni return with stories of their personal and academic successes is the greatest reward a teacher can enjoy.
