I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for AAW. I am extremely proud to have had the opportunity to attend this school.

My son has attended this amazing school for four years. I can honestly say it is the best experience he has ever had, both educationally and emotionally.  The teachers and staff are incredible. The parents are great, too.  And the students, unbelievable. They are so caring, intelligent and talented.  I would pay full tuition to have my children attend AAW, but am blessed to not have to being a charter high school.  My son is completely prepared for college thanks to everyone at AAW. I am so sad that this is my child's last year, and so is he.
