Willamette Leadership Academy is a public charter military academy in Lane County, in Goshen, in Eugene, Oregon, United States. ==History and Academics== The Willamette Leadership Academy and the Pioneer Youth Corps of Oregon are 501 c 3 non-profit organizations. WLA is accredited through the NAAS and Oregon Dept of Education. All teachers are highly qualified and certified. All the PYCO Academies are recognized as TIER-ONE schools by the US Armed Forces. Willamette Leadership Academy is open to all middle and high school students who are ready to meet the challenge of a highly structured and teamwork oriented school. Students come from a variety of backgrounds, home environments, ethnicities and financial situations. Our Primary concern is how much effort they are willing to put into changing for their future, not where they came from. PYCO opened in 1993 as an after school program. Within the first two years it became obvious that the idea was needed and PYCO soon developed units in Medford, Cottage Grove, Eugene and Salem. We grew to almost 350 students and volunteer staff. We soon received requests to add academic services and in 1996 PYCO developed an after school tutoring program. This program was staffed by local college students and volunteers who helped students with homework, conducted testing and taught study skills. They also instructed classes in basic math and language arts. This worked well but we could not sustain this level of service financially. It also became obvious that our students needed more academic support. In 1997 PYCO developed and alternative education program. In 2000 PYCO was one of the first 5 year charter schools to open. In 2003 PYCO moved from Eugene to Veneta under the Fern Ridge School District and opened Willamette Leadership Academy. Willamette Leadership Academy currently serves multiple counties. WLA employs approximately 17 staff members and have been able to purchase our own buses to better serve the community. We have had many students go on to college or serve in the armed forces. One of our students received a $64,000.00 scholarship for college. Our program has been serving the local community for over 17 years including our most recent endeavor of acquiring Goshen Elementary in 2012 to help accomplish the mission. In 2008, 100% of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 3 students, 3 graduated and 0 dropped out. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Willamette Leadership Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
