WA Global Network is the office of international student programs and initiatives for Wheaton Academy.
Wheaton Academy, founded in 1853 and located in West Chicago, Illinois, is one of the oldest and most respected private Christian high schools in America.
WA Global Network exists to:
Equip Schools: Share best practices and create learning environments for other schools looking to grow in their ability
to welcome international learners on campus.
Place Students: Connect students to other quality schools when application interest exceeds the enrollment capacity on Wheaton Academy’s campus or when students are better fit for a partner school.
Prepare Students: Strategically allow students to learn and improve in the life skills and college readiness traits needed for their education in America.
WA Global Network’s mission, vision, and methods are committed to serving and caring for international students and parents with fairness, honesty, and integrity.
Over the past 10 years, WA Global Network has placed over 400 students in American schools, had over 1,100 students from 10 different countries graduate from the Summer English Institute (SEI), and trained and equipped over 100 schools to run quality homestay boarding programs through the International Student Program Conference.
