After several years of working toward becoming a college preparatory academy, Woodrow Wilson High School parents and neighborhood community have won a big victory.
The school has now been redesigned into a college prep academy.
Beginning in fall 2010, Woodrow will open its doors as a new school of choice and be home to four academies: Math, Science, Technology and Engineering; Business, Finance and Entrepreneurship; Performing Arts; and International Baccalaureate.
The high school is an International Baccalaureate Candidate School, which means it’s on its way to becoming an IB World School.
School administrators settled on these four academies after a survey of students’ interests in these magnet-like programs.
For fall 2010, the academies are accepting applications from incoming ninth-graders throughout Dallas through Feb. 26.
However, the application deadline for the pre-International Baccalaureate program is March 15. Unlike the other three academies, applicants to the pre-IB program must meet specific requirements to be admitted.
