I have enrolled two of my daughters at the Willows Academy. One graduated in 2016 as class salutorian. She accepted an $84,000 Presidential Scholarship and is preparing to graduate early. My other daughter, 6 years younger, grew up wanting to be a Willows girl. The faculty is outstanding. The mentor ship program is great. I love that they teach our girls how to be ladies with confidence in themselves.

As a graduate of The Willows Academy, I am so glad that I went to this school. The older I get, the more I realize just how important attending The Willows was for me. My closest friends are the ones I made at The Willows and I really had the best education- not only academically, but also in character and virtue. I wouldn't be who I am today without The Willows!

As a former teacher at The Willows, I can attest to the wonderful spirit of The Willows.
During the twenty years which I taught, I found the administration very supportive and
inspirational.. they truly were role models for intelligent, caring women. To this day, I
have fond memories of my students and their school spirit ,and of my fellow teachers''
love and support. I looked forward to going to class EVERY day thanks to them.
