Wake Young Men’s Leadership Academy is proud to partner with Shaw University, a prestigious four-year institution located in the heart of downtown Raleigh. As our Early College partner, Shaw University provides our students with the unique opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school, setting them on a path toward academic excellence and leadership beyond graduation.

Partnering with a four-year university offers our students access to rigorous coursework, exposure to a vibrant collegiate environment, and the chance to build a strong academic foundation that supports their long-term goals. This collaboration opens doors to advanced learning, mentorship, and a deeper understanding of the college experience, all while saving time and money on their future college journey.

Together, WYMLA and Shaw University are committed to preparing our young men to thrive in college, their career, and life.
