school for young women, is uniquely situated in thriving and
diverse downtown Houston surrounded by Minute Maid Park, Discovery

A Woman of the Word is eager, curious and recognizes that her
days at the Academy are just the beginning of her lifelong journey
as a learner. She tries her best, stays positive and shows
integrity, even when something is challenging. A Woman of the Word
knows that the real value of her education is found in the critical
thinking, collaboration and problem-solving skills that she will
use to identify a problem and develop tomorrow`s extraordinary
solutions. A Woman of the Word seeks out diverse ideas, recognizing
that understanding perspectives different than her own yields
empathy and compassion.
Incarnate Word Academy is also home to the Young Leaders
Program, which empowers young women to lead and serve.
