Grades 6-8 | Los Angeles | WASC Accredited

For Students Ready for More

Challenge starts here — with rigorous academics, serious mentorship, and a school day designed for students who want to grow.

Your child sits in a classroom for 1,000+ hours each year. The question is: what's happening in that room?

Why WMSA

Why WMSA?

A school year is not just a calendar. It is more than 1,000 hours of a child's attention, energy, and potential.

And yet — in too many schools, those hours are quietly stolen.

Capable students sit in classrooms managed by substitutes who were handed a seating chart and a password to a video streaming site. They press play. The screen flickers. And another hour passes.

No instruction. No challenge. No one asking, "What do you already know? What could you become?"

These are not edge cases. These are patterns. Weeks go by without a qualified teacher standing at the front of the room. Children who hunger for something real — something that pushes them, something that demands their best — are handed a worksheet or a YouTube video and told, implicitly, that their time does not matter.

But it does matter. Every single hour matters.

"This is why WMSA exists.

For the student in the back of the room — the one who already knows the answer and is waiting to be asked."

— Wonjong Kim, WMSA Opening Ceremony

We built Windsor Math & Science Academy for parents who know their child is capable of more — and refuse to watch another year go by waiting for proof. If you want your child challenged early, taught with intention, mentored by people who see their potential, and prepared for the academic demands of competitive high schools, national competitions, and future leadership — this is where they belong.

Research

Middle School Students Can Do Real Research

WMSA introduces students to authentic scientific thinking through mentorship, experimental design, data analysis, and long-term research preparation.

Fruit Fly Metabolism & Behavior

Students explore how diet affects activity, fertility, and inherited traits.

Gut Microbiome & Memory in Ants

Students investigate how microbes may influence learning and navigation.

Venus Flytrap Electrophysiology

Students connect plant biology, action potentials, and environmental conditions.

Physarum Navigation & Foraging

Students study movement, problem-solving, and biological decision-making.

Examples reflect prior research mentorship and programs connected to WMSA leadership.

Curriculum

A Clear Academic Pathway

Structured core learning with placement-based math acceleration.

Math placement is based on readiness, not simply grade level. Advanced students may move beyond the standard sequence into Precalculus, Calculus, and competition mathematics.

Grade 6
ChemistryEnglish IPlacement-Based Math

Foundation year: structure, precision, and scientific reasoning. Depending on readiness, students may study Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, or higher-level math.

Grade 7
BiologyEnglish IIPlacement-Based Math

Application year: systems, proof, and deeper analysis. Students continue through the appropriate math sequence based on mastery, with opportunities for advanced algebra and precalculus preparation.

Grade 8
PhysicsEnglish IIIAdvanced Math

Launch year: abstraction, modeling, and high-school readiness. Students may progress through Algebra II, Precalculus, Calculus readiness, and competition math depending on demonstrated ability.

Math Moves by Mastery

At WMSA, students are not held back by grade-level labels. Math placement is determined by readiness, mastery, and long-term academic goals. Students who are prepared for advanced work may be placed into higher-level courses, including Precalculus, Calculus, and competition mathematics.
