Ysleta Young Women’s Leadership Academy Open House

May 11, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

Free

The Ysleta Young Women’s Leadership Academy invites community members to join our Open House to learn more about the college-prep academy and the application process for the 2023-2024 school year. The Open House will be held on May 11th from 5:30-7:00pm at the Young Women’s Leadership Academy located at 8040 Yermoland Dr. El Paso, Texas, 79907. YWLA is a free public all-girls school within Ysleta Independent School District and a partner school of the Young Women’s Preparatory Network. YWLA is currently accepting applications for incoming sixth through tenth graders.

The mission of the Young Women's Leadership Academy is to support young women who seek a college preparatory public education that will provide them the academic skills to achieve success in college and life by thinking critically, leading purposefully, and living healthy and responsible lives.

With a 100% high school graduate and 100% college acceptance rate at YWLA, we expect every graduate to enroll in a four-year university upon graduation. Our students are provided a strong support network to ensure they continue their academic success at the university level. At the YWLA, we teach young women responsible leadership and effective decision-making that contributes to their overall well-being. We believe these are integral components to their educational and personal success. While receiving a well-rounded college preparatory education, our young women experience lessons that integrate math, science, and technology across the curriculum.

Women have been historically underrepresented in STEM career fields, and at YWLA, we are committed to developing our community's future leaders across all career fields. The Young Women's Leadership Academy empowers young women to achieve their fullest potential with a rigorous, college-preparatory education that is free of cost to our students. We aim to grow our family of young leaders with students who are enthusiastic about learning, have a desire to lead, and are committed to higher education.

The Young Women’s Leadership Academy is part of the Young Women's Preparatory Network, a nonprofit organization that partners with public school districts to operate the largest network of all-girls’, public, college-preparatory schools in the nation. All YWPN schools feature a STEAM-focused curriculum. For more information, visit www.yisd.net/ywla or call 915-434-1300.
