What we model
EXPANDING THE WALLS OF THE CLASSROOM TO THE COMMUNITY AND HOMES.
A person’s character and integrity are more important than what he or she knows. We believe that a positive environment helps shape leaders. Therefore, we will focus on creating a moral and wholesome environment by teaching servant leadership and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Dr. Stephen R. Covey, maintaining a strict dress code and code of conduct for both students and staff, and requiring participation in regular community service opportunities.
Our students will learn personal leadership skills so that they can do great things for their community. Also, our students will be challenged to model leadership within the community by providing sixty hours of service to meet an identified need each year.

We will create a nurturing environment for students by involving parents in the life of the school. When parents are actively engaged at the school, the campus becomes an extension of the home where positive values are reinforced. We are not interested in merely creating a K-10 school, but will strive to involve the student families in order to cause positive and lasting changes within the community.
Lastly, WPA welcomes a diverse student population and builds upon the shared virtues that have helped make our nation great; hard work, perseverance, integrity, civility, honesty, respect, honor, and kindness. These shared values are the foundation of our vision. We believe that all youth in our nation hold tremendous potential. Regardless of socioeconomic status or background, when students, taught by exceptional teachers, are given the tools and skills necessary to realize their potential they become empowered and can accomplish anything.
