La Women's Academy of Excellence se inauguró en 2004 como un entorno de aprendizaje uniformado, público y de un solo género con un sentimiento de escuela privada. Cariñosamente conocida como WAE, la misión de la Women's Academy of Excellence es crear una comunidad de aprendices de por vida , donde se nutre la curiosidad intelectual y la creatividad de los estudiantes, y se satisfacen sus necesidades de desarrollo como adolescentes a su satisfacción individual.
