Incarnate Word Academy (IWA) of Corpus Christi is a private, Catholic college preparatory school educating all grade levels: IWA Elementary Level-Montessori (Age 3-Grade 5), IWA Elementary Level-Traditional (Age 3-Grade 5), IWA Middle Level (Grades 6-8), and IWA High School Level (Grades 9-12).
Motivated by a philosophy of Catholic education and by the charism of the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament, IWA exists to create a climate for learning with God as the highest value. We strive to integrate faith with high academic standards across our campus.
Administrators, teachers, coaches, counselors, and staff members work together to form a Christian community which initiates students as growing members into the faith community. We create an atmosphere that allows students to be genuinely aware and curious, to do their personal best with every endeavor, to be humble and honest, to develop personal talents, and to think with an open mind: logically, accurately, and critically.
A great education is the foundation a life is built upon. It determines how far a child will reach and how far they can go. Incarnate Word Academy combines tradition, faith, and an eye to the future to provide opportunities for academic achievement, spiritual fulfillment, and personal accomplishment for each child that walks through our doors.
Our vision is to Become an Image of Christ Within Our Community. To extend the legacy of the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament, as leaders, partners, and advocates for our students and the adults who serve them; and to provide a community where all may grow in Christian wholeness and bear witness to the presence and love of Christ among us. Our Core Values:
Inspired by the charism of the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament, Incarnate Word Academy seeks to evangelize by proclaiming the good news revealed in the mystery of the Incarnation. As participants in the Church's mission of Catholic education, our ministry serves students from a wide range of ethnic, economic, social, and religious backgrounds. Our service is directed toward bringing about a Christian wholeness in each person and a Christian unity among all.
In pursuit of this goal, Incarnate Word Academy holds God as the highest value and affirms the sacredness and dignity of each human person. Acknowledging parents as the primary educators within the domestic church (the family), we work in collaboration with them to foster in their children the fullness of life to which they have been called. Because we recognize the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social, physical, and creative gifts of each member of our community, we strive to nurture growth in students, parents, and faculty/staff. In this way we can best provide a holistic education to challenge, assist, and guide students in their personal development.
While completing a course of studies is never an indication that a person is finished growing, IWA does seek to facilitate the development of an individual who is able to express commitment to God and his/her faith community through witness and service; who enjoys the skills to make informed and responsible decisions; who is ready to participate in and contribute to the good of the civic community; and who-above all-witnesses to and lives as a member of the Reign of God.
At all levels, a student's learning begins in wonder, becomes an adventure, and demands active participation and motivated performance. Students learn to explore and to think for themselves. They learn to set goals and master basics. They learn to find, organize, and apply information and to inquire and solve problems. They learn to critique what they hear and read, to support opinion with evidence, and to search for and respect truth.
Through the successes and challenges of growing up, students at IWA learn to value the difficult times as well as the wonderful times of their lives. Healthy self-esteem encourages them to participate in activities of their interest and teaches them that winning is not everything.
Accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, AdvancEd, and the Texas Education Agency through the Accreditation Commission of the Texas Catholic Conference Education Department, IWA's specialty is working together as a team to integrate faith development with high academic standards. At IWA, students learn that discovering their principles and struggling to live by them is the greatest knowledge of all.

My child has made significant progress in their education at Incarnate Word Academy. The quality of education is exceptional, and the helpful staff goes above and beyond to support the students. I am impressed with the American curriculum offered at the school.
