Our Program

empowers our current students and alumni to make the most knowledgeable and informed decisions about their future in order to pursue a lifetime of success. While their time on Varnum Street is foundational, their formative years continue well past their tutelage here. The mentoring, coaching, and academic and social supports extended to our students following their graduation is critical to ensuring that they have every resource at their disposal to prosper. Extensive high school preparation begins in the seventh grade. OSAS works with our students, side-by-side, to evaluate realistic and appropriate options for high school. This is paired with an emphasis on standardized test preparation, academic excellence, and diligent work ethic in order to ensure that our students are equally, if not more, prepared for high school than their peers from neighboring schools. Providing for a seamless transition helps accelerate a WJA alum’s progress in high school and beyond.

OSAS continues to provide unparalleled resources to WJA’s diverse community of graduates while they are in high school, as we provide a variety of supports while our alums are pursuing higher education. This includes SAT test applications. Whether our graduates apply for college, enter a trade or the workforce, or pursue a public service and the culture of brotherhood and betterment that exists among our community is lifelong, and its impact is great.
