Incarnate Word Academy

The Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word founded Incarnate Word Academy in 1932, and their presence and influence at IWA remain constant to this day. For over 85 years, the Sisters and their lay colleagues have nurtured the spirituality, intellectual curiosities, and goals of young women in a quiet yet powerful way.

Your contributions help us continue the tradition of sisterhood by ensuring that IWA remains a place where every young woman can be herself: a place where she is academically inspired, where she can discover beauty in dance, music, and artistic design, and where she will pursue and grow in leadership.

Our young women empower themselves and those around them to make a positive impact on the world. Our students develop into leaders through bold actions and personal conviction. From auditioning for plays, to trying out for a sport, to organizing assemblies and standing up for what is right, our students are brave and rise to the challenge.

Our faculty empowers students through innovative teaching and personal guidance. Our students become confident, self-assured, and brilliant young women who achieve their full, God-given potential, both inside and outside the classroom.

Our Women of the Word proudly follow the example of Jesus, the Incarnate Word, by promoting human dignity in themselves and others. Every day our students raise the consciousness of the community: to respect cultural diversity, to respond to the needs of the poor, to work for peace and social justice, and to be ecologically responsible.

Please give today and help us continue our tradition of empowering young women to find their passions and achieve their dreams.
