The Inwood Academy drama program asks students to read, discuss, and respond with their own writing to plays addressing relevant issues in our community. In some cases, students will perform plays around sensitive subject matter for their peers, and these performances will be followed by open facilitated conversations. Students will also learn from guest teaching artists about different aspects of a career in theater. #washingtonheights #inwood #manhattan #WaHI

Inwood Academy is committed to ensuring students are academically prepared for college and well-rounded emotionally and socially. Our goal is for students to be academically prepared and have a well-rounded character necessary to attain a college degree or skills for a career. Once our students are attending college, we will also continue to keep in touch with them through text communication, email, social media and visit them on campus.
