Mission
Incarnate Word Academy provides young women with a Catholic college preparatory education, helping them grow in their relationship with Jesus, the Incarnate Word, and live according to His values. Its cornerstones are: Academics, Values and Spirituality.
As part of its mission to offer its students the very best Catholic college preparatory education available, Incarnate Word Academy is constantly looking at ways to improve its curriculum, technology, facilities, faculty and staff, and more. The Academy has a Strategic Plan in place to help pave the way for the next generation of young women who will call the school “home.” In addition to the Strategic Plan, school leadership is constantly adapting to meet new challenges. New Advanced Placement courses and stimulating electives have been added to the curriculum.
After more than 135 years, IWA understands that continually planning and adapting is the only way to be prepared for the future. IWA continues to offer its students a traditional Catholic education in an ever more modern world.
