WHAT WE DO

Welcome to the Westlake Academy Foundation, affectionately known as WAF or just “the Foundation!” A 501(c)(3) organization, we are dedicated to supporting Westlake Academy by raising funds essential for delivering the IB curriculum at its best. From operational needs to teacher training, state-of-the-art equipment, technology upgrades, classroom materials, and beyond, we ensure that WA students receive a top-tier education.

Through the generosity of our donors, WAF sustains Westlake Academy annually via two primary initiatives: the Blacksmith Annual Fund (BAF) and the WA Gala. The BAF bridges the financial gap between state funding and the true cost of an IB education. Meanwhile, the WA Gala celebrates our community while raising funds specifically to support and empower our innovative IB educators.

We're passionate about what we do and would love to connect with you. Reach out via email or give us a call, and let's talk all things WAF, BAF, and IB. We're always here to chat…and always excited to help you impact WA!
