History
World of Learning Academy is Andrea Velandia's dream come true. In 2008, together with her husband, Wilson, Mrs. Andrea opened the doors of World of Learning Academy--and hasn't stopped since. She has dedicated her life instructing herself on how to be an effective teacher by focusing on children's individual needs and interests. She believes that teachers have an everlasting impact on children that shapes who they become as young adults and hopes that the education she offers at her school will positively influence generations to come. WOLA will be expanding at its current location for the 2011-2012 school year. The expansion includes various upgrades to the existing facility, a larger playground with new play sets, and four new classrooms to accommodate more students. Mrs. Velandia's vision is to open several schools in Broward County within the next five years.
