Founded in 1974, The Willows Academy is an independent college preparatory school that empowers young women to strive for academic and moral excellence and a lifelong commitment to service based on the teaching of the Catholic Church and the spirituality of Opus Dei. The Willows Academy embodies all that a college preparatory environment should be: an atmosphere rich with academic excellence and personal attention to each student while emphasizing sound moral formation in the Roman Catholic tradition. The challenging college-preparatory curriculum follows a classical liberal arts orientation and meets the academic entrance requirements of all major universities. To help parents guide the growth and develop of their adolescent daughter, each student at The Willows Academy is assigned an advisor with whom she meets individually. The advisor helps the student grow in her knowledge of herself, her place in the world and her responsibility to become whomever God intends. At the Willows, learning does not only happen in the classroom, but in every aspect of life. The Willows stresses the importance of leadership, participation in cocurricular activities and a commitment to moral excellence. At the Willows, young women encourage each other to explore their interests and to take advantage of the wide variety of opportunities for leadership and participation in athletics, the visual and performing arts, technology and communication, service and civic involvement and governance. The Willows Academy is located on a two-acre campus with nearby parks and recreational facilities in a suburban setting 25 minutes northwest of downtown Chicago. Similar to its brother school, Northridge Prep, it provides a variety of athletics and extracurricular activities and attracts an ethnically diverse student body from more than 40 Chicago-area communities.
