My daughter is now in 5th Grade and has attended WLA since Kindergarten. One of the key drivers that drove our decision to enroll her there, was the fact that Chinese was one of the languages that students would study. This was beneficial for our daughter since she was adopted from China. She loves the school as do we. Close Quote

This is probably the best school in the State of Georgia. The foresight the superintendent and administration have cannot be compared! They embrace technology and embrace other cultures. I feel fortunate to have this school so close to my home. I currently have 2 children at the school with my 3rd starting Kindergarten next year. I do know the Dual-Immersion model is not for all students, but I feel those that are able to thrive in this environment! Close Quote
