The Wisconsin International Academy (WIA) mission of bridging cultures is accomplished through the recruitment of international students while providing them with a safe environment, cultivating self-discipline within them, strengthening their English language skills, and fostering a culture that encourages their academic success not only for the present but also for the future. WIA began in 2012 and is in its fourth successful year of operation. We began in a temporary location in Glendale, WI for two years and have been in our permanent location in Wauwatosa, WI for just over 1 1/5 years. WIA partners with 5 area high schools in order to help in the college preparation process. The partner schools are Pius XI High School , Dominican High School, Martin Luther High School, St. Thomas More High School, and Catholic Memorial High School. WIA collaborates with our partner schools to provide a diversified, academic environment that helps students from various backgrounds succeed in the US educational system throughout high school and into university. In the 2014-2015 academic year WIA graduated 6 students from Dominican High School, 23 from Pius XI High School, 1 from St. Thomas More High School, and 1 from Martin Luther High School who attended Universities throughout the US and Europe. This year WIA offers various classes and activities for the students to participate in, including Jiu jit-su Lessons, Violin Lessons, Piano Lessons, and Hip-Hop Dance Lessons. WIA also provides at least 4 cultural activities per weekend in order to help our students acclimate to the local Wisconsin culture.
