    From Walsingham Academy

    Since 1947 Walsingham Academy has offered families a better educational option. Founded by the Sisters of Mercy and grounded in the values of compassion and service, Walsingham students receive more than a high-powered education. They learn that everyone is worthwhile. That there is great joy in helping others. And that the real power of a prestigious education is what you do with it.

    From our Early Learners program to 12th grade, Walsingham students experience an education that connects through thought and action. It is both contemplative and communal. Students in our Upper School, grades 8-12 actively participate in our college preparatory program and have access to a wide-range of extracurricular activities.

    The beauty of the Walsingham community lies in the opportunities for students to engage outside of the classroom, including dozens of clubs, athletics for students in grades 5-12 and visual arts education for all students.
