From the
Superintendent…..
At Westwind, we believe
that extracurricular activities play an important
role in the academic and personal development of
our students, which is consistent with the mission
of our organization. It isn’t enough that we
develop world-class athletes; we must develop
world-class student athletes, individuals who are
well-equipped to survive in a global economy and
prepared to excel both on and off the court or
field.
Westwind faculty and staff are committed to
providing the opportunity for rigorous academic
opportunities that are relevant to our
students. Our smaller learning community
provides an environment conducive to nurturing not
only the academic growth of our students but their
emotional, cultural, social and physical
development as well. Westwind’s academic
program, athletic program and other
extracurricular activities are
designed
to promote excellence and integrity. All of
this adds to a sense of pride and an excitement
for what the future holds for Westwind students
and the organization
itself!

The goal
at Westwind Prep International
is simple: to develop the best prep
basketball players in the country.
Having coached, trained and developed dozens
of college and high school players at every
level, our staff has devised a training program
that focuses on individual players and their total
basketball, academic and personal
development.
WPI offers one of the
most comprehensive full-time basketball and
academic training programs in the country.
Players participate in afternoon and evening
basketball training sessions. Our competitive
season begins in October against the Junior
Colleges, primarily in the Southwest. The
competitive part of the season finishes with the
top prep schools in the country and national
tournaments. In the morning, our players
attend classes at Westwind Prep
Academy, a fully-accredited on-campus
9-12 academic institution This
completely unique athletic and academic
environment enables WPI to produce skilled
and motivated student-athletes who thrive in the
competitive arena of the classroom and on the
court.
Our players come from across
the United
States, as well
as overseas. International student-athletes
have a tremendous opportunity to study, train and
get exposed to NCAA Division I colleges and
universities from the moment they step on our
campus.
