    From Wayland Academy

    Wayland Academy is more. More opportunities to explore. More time with friends and teachers. More exciting adventures. Wayland is a place where you will be surrounded by peers who will celebrate, challenge, and support you. Wayland students find passions that they have yet to explore during their time on campus and they find joy in learning through inquiry, creative problem solving, and meaningful experiential learning opportunities. Wayland is nestled in a safe and welcoming community where you are short walks from the movie theater, restaurants, the lake and a hospital where students have the opportunity to earn shadowing hours if they choose to pursue a medical career after graduation. Everything you need is right here.
