I agree with all the other parent reviewers: PWA is a genuinely special place. I used to teach high school and undergraduate literature, so I have very high standards for teaching methods and best practices. My daughters attended the preschool and elementary school for many years, and they thrived under the personal attention, high standards and emphasis on analytical thinking. Recently, one of the school's most gifted teachers was promoted to vice-principal/head of curriculum and then she hired some more amazing teachers. The school is on the rise under her leadership, and I am so excited for the students!
If you want to invest in your child's future this is the school for you. We've had our daughter in several different schools in Virginia and none matched the quality of education and options in foreign languages she receives here. This school invests in a quality cadre of teachers. The curriculum is challenging for the children and well ahead of public schools. Each class has a very low teacher to student ratio and has a very international demographic. Most importantly, Dr. Harris and her staff truly care about the children, their development, and are always willing to work with parents on any level of need. Bottom line, I can assure you that you won't be dissapointed because this school is truly outstanding.
Prince William Academy 'Is the bestest school' as kids learned in the school song. My daughter attended the school for four years and we have not seen anything but the best out of the school. The curriculum is awesome as well and the teachers and the languages offered (arabic, french and spanish). At kindergarden level, my daughter has successfully completed the first grade level. We are very pleased with the school and would recommend it to all.
My son attended school for a year. It was one of the greatest experience he or I have ever had. Wonderful educational enviroment. Classes are small to meet all student needs and the teachers are caring and attentive to all their students needs.
I have a 3-year old that attends prince william academy. I am extremely grateful for the effort and time dr. Harris and all the staff at pwa put into the children that attend this school. My son is only three and he knows numbers (up to 40), abc's, shapes, colors, etc. In spanish and english. Additionally, he's taking an arabic course and knows a few songs in arabic and can name various animals. He is above and beyond where he should be for his age and all because of the dedicated staff at pwa. I highly recommend this school to any parent!
