WHO WE ARE:

Washington Square Academy has its origins as a small after school program. From a living room table, we began teaching a handful of students. Throughout the 6 years of running a small after school program, we saw immense growth in all of our students. We saw a need for children to get academic support in small groups; and wanting to rise to that challenge, WSA was born! Since we were established over a year ago, Washington Square Academy has become known for its rigorous honors curriculum; our standards of excellence have paved t he way for us to grow into the school we are today.
