VISION STATEMENT
Our vision is to meet the needs of students at Wings Academy through
reading, writing, mathematics, and critical thinking, and to be
visionary and proactive in current trends such as science, cultural
arts, technology, information, and community service.
SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT
Wings Academy is dedicated to providing a dynamic, quality college
preparatory education to students in the West Farms section of the
Bronx. Our curriculum is designed to develop critical thinkers,
thoughtful and persuasive communicators, and productive human beings.
Rooted in the belief that a quality education requires high standards
of behavior and academic excellence, standard-driven instruction
and curricula, and a collective commitment, our school strives for
mastery of content--not mere proficiency.
The name �Wings Academy� symbolizes the belief that education
is the wind beneath the wings of success and the greatest tool of
empowerment for young men and women in New York City. Each letter
represents a standard each student strives to achieve on his journey
toward that goal. These standards, woven into a challenging academic
environment, should lift young people into imagining new possibilities
for the future.
W = Willingness to work hard and cooperatively with others
