RecommendedI have three boys that attend/attended Western Academy! My now 10th grader graduated from Western Academy as a Valedictorian in 2017. The relationships he made at WACS with students and staff will stay with him forever. The STEAM program got him ready for high school and put him well ahead of his peers. I also have a 1st and 4th grader. Their teachers are amazing, great communication always. I love the project child system. It gives the kids three teachers each school year that they keep for three years! It really gives the teachers an opportunity to get to know the kids and advance in their learning. When they return to school in August there is no time wasted on getting to know each other. They jump right in and pick up where they left off. I feel clusters (team of three teachers) also give the kids and teachers a nice break in the day, you're not in the same class all day with the same teacher (or kids lol) which I really feel helps the teachers and the students stay fresh and enjoying the day. My husband and I are so thankful that we found Western Academy!

RecommendedWe love Western Academy! We feel so blessed to have our boys there and know everyday they are in the best hands. Our now 10th grader graduated from Western Academy’s STEAM program. He says now looking back he feels like he got a great push in middle school and that it has helped him in high school. The small school setting really makes for a great family atmosphere where your kid isn’t just another number. I strongly feel all schools should have Project Child and “clusters”! It works very well. Thank you to all the staff at Western that help keep the wheels turning everyday!

RecommendedExcellent school! So glad we found it! I have 3 kids in Western Academy, all since Kindergarten, with the oldest now starting 8th Grade and we love this school. The staff are very professional, motivated, and caring, and the kids thrive under their attention. The smaller size of the school allows for a feeling that everyone is looking out for everyone else, which couldn't be possible in some of the huge Public Schools around. Discipline is strict, but doesn't feel arbitrary and leads to a good learning environment. Having children with different levels of learning ability, I can observe that they accommodate and challenge appropriately according to the child, rather than being some giant mill churning them out. I appreciate the ease of communication with the teachers and staff. I can only hope we get so lucky in High School.

RecommendedBest school in the County! Our kids have been attending Western Academy since Kindergarten. The oldest is now in the 10th grade and thriving while his brother is in 8th and we fully expect him to do just as well at the next level. When they started we couldn't have imagined how great an experience it would turn out to be. Family oriented atmosphere & program. EVERYBODY cares! That's impossible to find nowadays. This is truly a special place.

RecommendedAmazing school! This is our 10th year in this school and there has never been any problems. Amazing staff that truly cares and encourages every student. As a mother to a special needs child with an extensive IEP I know he is getting the help that he needs. Everyone from the front desk down is caring and knows every child’s name. If I have a concern about anything they take the time to speak to me and address what it is. I found this school by accident and it was the best decision I made. I love them all!

RecommendedGreat learning environment for your kids, teachers who go the extra mile for their students Our son enrolled in Kindergarten nearly 9 years ago (he's in 7th grade now) and we couldn't have asked for a better learning environment. The teachers and course push the kids a bit, but just enough to help them want to learn more. It is a very structured environment and there are rules and a dress code and there are consequences for your actions here, just like in real life, and I think kids thrive in this type of environment. I know my son does without a doubt. The Principal, and all the faculty, are actively involved in every aspect of the school and everyone here actually listens to your concerns as a parent. My son loves the school and has made friends he will keep for the rest of his life and has learned lessons he will take on to high school and beyond. The STEAM curriculum is very impressive and seeing my son take courses, for example, in JavaScript in 6th grade blew me away. I am a Web Engineer and what they were learning was some of the fundamental concepts I use every day. Wow. Love this school!

RecommendedGreat School for K-8! Western Academy is a great school!! Our child has been there since Kindergarten and is now in 6th Grade and we have been very happy. The teachers have been and are terrific!!! They really help the kids be prepared for the state test and they ensure they understand what they are learning. The teachers and office administration also ensure many “fun” events and activities are planned throughout the year (during and after school hours) which makes the kids look forward to going to school. The school stresses parent-involvement, which we feel is a KEY to our child’s education. The teachers are open and welcome communication with their students and parents. We would HIGHLY recommend this school for all grades.

RecommendedWestern Academy is a GREAT school! Our child has been there for six years (K-5th) and has been very happy to be a student and will be entering the STEAM program this year. The teachers are AMAZING!!! Mrs. Terranova is a true leader and has done so much to make WACS the great school it is today. We really appreciate how concerned everyone is with making sure our kids are safe!!! They really help the kids be prepared for the state test and they ensure they understand what they are learning. In our experience, the Principal is always fair and has appropriately and quickly handled matters of inappropriate behavior so as to continue to ensure the safety of our kids and her staff. The teachers and Principal also ensure many "fun" events and activities are planned throughout the year, which makes the kids look forward to going to school. The school stresses parent-involvement, which we feel is a KEY to our child's education. We would highly recommend this school.

RecommendedThe best school in entire South Florida! Our kids are so fortunate to be students here! I work in Fort Lauderdale and commute 90 miles a day 5 days a week just so my daughter can go to this school. I can’t be more happier. The level of education and knowledge can’t compare to any what they call “ best public” schools in Boca and anywhere. I went and checked. In Boca Omni Middle they offer STEM in 9th grade when in WACS in 6th. We are three years ahead of anybody!!! Our kids will be astronauts!!!

RecommendedWe are the grandparents of a graduate of Western Academy and a 7th grader. We love this school, the principal and staff are amazing! It starts at the top, so a big shout out to Principle Linda and her vision, attitude and direction for making this school a place where kids are safe and educated in a way that is fun and disciplined. It has been a joy these past 10 years watching my grandchildren succeed and flourish with skills that will last them a lifetime! Love the STEM program

RecommendedMy only regret is not putting my boys in sooner! And this is coming from a district teacher. They are supportive and committed to the success of all the students!
