Faculty

At WIS our dedicated faculty members promote independent learning, critical thinking and self-reflection in a nurturing and caring environment.
Skilled and talented in their subject areas, WIS faculty go beyond teaching the mastery of basic skills by embracing the principles that we hold dear as a community: global citizenship volunteerism, intellectual curiosity, artistic pursuits, and community.
The bonds formed between faculty and students last well beyond graduation.
