We’ve been so impressed with the culture, academic rigor and opportunities at WMAA. It has been wonderful for our son!
This is great thing for young people to consider. I wish it was an alternative when I was growing up๐
Was just talking about this academy with a reprsentative of the Air Zoo today
Great achievement
my daughter loves attending there thank you for what you did for the community.
