About Our School

WHO WE ARE:
WLI is a secondary Gold Seal School of Choice (6th-12th) and the first FWISD multilingual school which provides a focus for students interested in pursuing a rigorous, accelerated academic program in Spanish and English as well as the opportunity to learn a third or fourth language and take it to the AP level. Options include Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, French, Italian, and American Sign Language (A.S.L.).  This all-advanced program offers a variety of courses with the potential for over 100 college hours while still in high school. Students will graduate from WLI multilingual and multicultural – a perfect match for the marketplace that awaits them. 

Intensive language study and a rigorous academic curriculum will equip multilingual students for careers of the future across the globe. The multilingual staff, the students and their parents, together with the community, will follow a path of academic excellence while developing the leaders of tomorrow’s world.
