    Educating Future Leaders

    The Young Women's Leadership Academy at Arnold serves sixth through twelfth-grade students in an all-girl setting. We are a School of Choice offered by the Grand Prairie ISD with a focus on developing future female leaders who are college ready and college bound.
     
    The YWLA features an advisory period devoted to leadership topics, leadership opportunities, a Pre-AP/college readiness focus, advanced technology, extracurricular clubs and events, and a campus dress code.

Our Vision

  • The Young Women's Leadership Academy will offer 6th-12th grade girls a dynamic learning experience that encourages critical thinking, inspires confidence and nurtures the intellectual and social development necessary for success in college, career, and life. Rigorous coursework, field-based exploration and personalized counseling help students transition from middle school to high school and to higher education and beyond.
