After the College Preparatory Academies information session, students and parents are invited to tour the school, meet with faculty and current students, and enjoy the Club Fair which will provide information about clubs and organizations.
Woodrow Wilson is presently an International Baccalaureate (IB) Candidate School. The IB Diploma provides an opportunity for students to earn up to 24 hours of college credit in their junior and senior years. Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Credit courses will be available for all
Woodrow Wilson High School students in all academies. Pre-IB courses will be offered next fall for incoming ninth graders.
School administrators will be available to answer questions about the College Preparatory Academies. For more information please call (972) 502-4419.
