Incarnate Word Academy is a private, Catholic high school for young women. Founded in 1932 by the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, IWA's mission is to foster the spiritual, intellectual, social, and personal growth of each student. Incarnate Word Academy provides an excellent college preparatory academic foundation while nurturing the spiritual growth of every student who attends. Known as "Women of the Word," students are encouraged to seek human dignity in themselves and others. Through high academic standards and personal attention, our students become self-assured, knowledgeable women who go on to make positive impacts on their community. Praised be the Incarnate Word!
