Honors Graduation Plan
An advanced pathway designed for highly motivated students aiming for selective colleges and universities, with a strong emphasis on academic excellence.
Your pathway to successful college admission starts here. Personalized guidance, SAT/ACT preparation, and full application support.
At Willow Bend Academy, every student follows a personalized academic pathway built on the principles of individualized instruction. We begin with a detailed assessment of each student’s current academic level to identify strengths and areas that need additional support.
Our program is based on a mastery-learning model — students move forward only after they have fully understood the material. This eliminates gaps in knowledge and builds confidence when preparing for college-level work, SAT, and ACT exams.
