Skills introduced and reinforced in the classroom, including critical reading, critical writing, and document analysis and evaluation, will prepare students for the rigors of the Diploma Programme and for success in college after their years at West Sound. WSA faculty and staff help students quickly adapt to life in the US and on campus. A variety of social gatherings from all-school barbecues to trips to Seattle help international students seamlessly become part of the student body. To assure that our international students have an authentic American school experience, we limit the number of students from any one country as well as cap the total number of international students to roughly 15-20% of our enrollment.
In addition to being immersed in the English language, international students at West Sound Academy are immersed in our surroundings, as well as in our creative community in beautiful Poulsbo in the state of Washington. We’re rural enough to have a family of coyotes and a pair of bald eagles call our campus home but convenient enough that a 10-minute drive across Bainbridge Island plus a 30-minute ferry ride lands you in Seattle with its dynamic mix of culture and entertainment.
We’re also close to Olympic National Park with world-famous hiking, climbing, bicycling, and kayaking opportunities.
West Sound Academy’s graduates have received admissions offers over 125 colleges, universities, and schools of art and design, including some of the most prestigious institutions of post-secondary education in the United States and abroad.
