Charles Wright Academy

We attend Annie Wright and many families are moving there. They have no affiliation to CWA other than Charles was Annie's father. Less of a gang mentality and the teachers really care about the individual student versus who the students parents are and how much money is being donated in the name of the family. Fathers job=how nice you are treated in school and how much murder you get away with.

My family has so much to be grateful for, and our CWA community is definitely on that list. Initially, I was apprehensive about enrolling my son in a private school because I did not know what to expect (I personally had never attended private schools). Nevertheless, I had done all of my research, visited many schools (public and private), and decided that CWA offered the experiences that I wanted for my child in a culture with values that aligned with our own –a conceptualized understanding of diversity and its importance, project-based learning through active exploration, and the importance of strengthening both cognitive and non-cognitive skills. My son has attended CWA since 2018, and we have had an incredible experience.

One of my nephews goes to school at Charles Wright Academy. As a former educator, I envy the teachers that get to work in such an amazing facility. I was impressed watching my nephews class on one of the family days. I understand it’s expensive, but after looking into the curriculum and all that the school offers, I’m reminded of the old adage, “You get what you pay for.”

It's the way this school is run that makes it terrible. Never choose a school where the board of trustees are parents. In true human nature their kids will always be the stars of the show. The staff will fall in line. The facilities are beautiful from the outside but the heart of this place is empty, shallow, and lacking tradition.

University place schools are superior to this bizzarre, expensive, lack luster 'academy' . And, the kids in public school aren't wierd.
