Overview: Welcome to Junior Year!
Junior year is a time of GREAT EXCITEMENT for our OWLS as they transition to our early college campus at Saint Augustine's University. Beginning this year, students take a combination of high school and college courses. Junior year is traditionally the year of the SAT and ACT and of college campus visits. WYWLA juniors will have the opportunity to visit a number of different college campuses. Last year, we toured 10 universities, including UNC-Chapel Hill, Wake Forest University, NC Central, and Salem College, just to name a few! Campus visits will vary each year, depending on student interest and tour availability.
