Mission:
Willamette Leadership Academy (WLA) is a military style charter school, which provides academic, social, and emotional instruction to middle and high school students (cadets).

       "The philosophy of the schoolroom today will be the philosophy of the government tomorrow".
                                                                                                                                    -
President Lincoln

It is the mission of Willamette Leadership Academy to provide our cadets with the academic skills that will enable them to reach their personal career goals and provide them with the leadership skills and positive character traits that will enable them to be responsible citizens of their community.  The leadership skills learned will allow the cadets to become more successful in school and improve their relationships with family, friends, and authority figures.

Why is Willamette Leadership Academy different from other schools?
WLA assigns two staff members to most classrooms (companies).  The Officer (teacher) is responsible for academic instruction.  The NCO coaches the cadets in conduct, leadership and respect skills, as well as physical training.  Our educational practices establish that anything less than a C- is failing and we work diligently to provide the cadets with the tools to succeed.  We also reinforce positive changes by giving promotion and awards based on behavior, academic achievements, and individual examples of good deeds.

Who attends WLA?
Willamette Leadership Academy is open to all middle and high school students who are ready to meet the challenge of a highly structured and teamwork oriented school. Our students come from a variety of backgrounds, home environments, ethnic, and financial situations, but find the unity in the structure of WLA. Our primary concern is how much effort they are willing to put into changing for their future, not where they came from.  Many of our cadets chose our program for the educational structure and environment.  Cadets graduate with the skills needed to enter college, the Armed Forces, or the job market.
