As a parent of a student attend Wayland Academy, it has offered her the ability to find her place, focus on academics, challenge herself for the future, and be the leader of tomorrow. The facility and staff at Wayland are of the highest caliber instilling the four pillar of traditions and community to live by. I recommend sending your child(ren) to Wayland Academy as it will set them up for the future we all look forward for our children.

Wayland is an outstanding school. Your student will have opportunities to explore their interests and no one will be tracked or told they can't participate or compete. Challenging curriculum with a supportive environment.

I love it here, the staff and students are extremely friendly and the community is more of a family. The friends I am very close with I think of as my brothers and sisters, and all of the other students I still think of as my cousins. This is a great place to send your child!
