O

ur beloved donors are the heart of Incarnate Word Academy. Donor generosity allows us to take advantage of emerging opportunities and provides the flexibility to respond to unanticipated needs and challenges.

Last school year was definitely a year of unanticipated needs and challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic turned our spring upside down, ultimately interrupting our school-year and forcing us to pivot to distance learning for the remainder of the year. Donor generosity continued to help us serve our students and faculty during these uncertain and unprecedented times, the likes of which the school has never faced in its 150 year history.

We are humbled and grateful by the support of our many education partners who continue to help ensure that IWA remains an inclusive and intellectually dynamic school community, even during a world pandemic. We hope you enjoy seeing some of the highlights of your vital impact in this report.

Praised be the Incarnate Word!
