Welcome from the Head

Happy 50th Anniversary, Willows!

I am frequently asked, why Willows Academy? My response is always why not Willows Academy?

Willows Academy is a community of families working to seek the truth and transform society for the good. We want our students to be the next great leaders of industry, of the home, and to be examples of virtue and morality. Guided by the teachings of the Catholic Church, Willows focuses on providing a rigorous liberal arts curriculum, personalized mentoring, and a strong co-curricular program.

There are many school choices available however, at our very foundation, started by parents 50 years ago, is the principle that parents are the primary educators of their children.  Partnering with parents, our goals are to provide academic excellence and a community that celebrates the achievements of one another and steps in with compassion and charity when there is hardship. At Willows we teach our students to live each day with a spirit of service, to develop a well formed conscience, and to exemplify strength of character.

The faculty and staff at Willows are here because they believe strongly in our mission and in our core values of joy, integrity, excellence, and generosity. Many are wives and mothers and they truly care for the wellbeing of each student. We are all here to support you, the parents, as we partner to help each young lady achieve academic excellence, a spirit of service and to succeed in whatever vocation she is called to. I am excited for the next 50 years!

Respectfully,

Mrs. Katie Stangel, Head of School
