Grades 9 through 12 are pivotal years in students’  lives as they explore, examine, envision, endeavor and enter the world of learning through the many lenses that a LWA education fosters. At LWA, students cultivate and hone their genuine voices as they write across all disciplines, collaborate with peers, share in a variety of media, and most importantly, gain a sense of self and satisfaction through each learning experience. Guided by an outstanding faculty whose expertise in their disciplines, as well as their creative and student-centered approach to curriculum design, LWA Upper School students have opportunities every day to deepen their understanding of topics and concepts that interest them, as well as to widen the scope of their knowledge through a variety of “deep dives” into areas that spark their curiosity. The doors open wide for all of our students to not only experience learning through multiple perspectives and in various subject areas, but also to zoom-in their intellectual lenses in areas they are passionate about.
