Charles Wright Academy is a welcoming and vibrant community of friends and teachers who will challenge you to develop as a scholar, athlete, artist, and leader. But more importantly, they will support and encourage you every step of the way. At CWA, we are driven by our mission to nurture and challenge our students through active, joyful learning. We offer an excellent academic program with varied course selections and a focus on experiential and project-based learning. Roughly 570 students in preschool through grade 12 come to school on our large, beautiful campus in University Place. We offer bus service throughout the South Sound and up to South King County.

The Yazi program covers up to full-tuition scholarships and can also assist with other necessary expenses. Once your child is selected as a finalist for the Yazi Award, we will ask you to complete a financial aid application.
