Major investment in facilities (dining hall, sports complex) began in 2022 that will really improve the student experience.

The school is nice good buildings and classrooms. The campus is small and it is right in the middle of the city of Worcester. There is lots of places to get good food but it is also not always the safest city. The rules at the school are strict and you really have to buy in.

It allows kids to be who they want to be. They allow you to explore the different mind sets and interests the child is interested in. Between the sports and arts programs it is good for anyone. The best part is that all kids have the freedom to learn in a 1:10 student ratio. Clubs also allow kids to figure out the different fields they may eventually want to major in.

I begged my parents to pull me out after my freshman year. 8 others in my class just could not take it anymore either. Since I started every kid was a stuck-up, rich, k...

I've noticed that the negative reviews all have misspellings and severe grammatical errors. Perhaps you just were not smart enough to be at WA, but that is no reason to be bitter at the school. It is an incredible academic environment, and is unlike most prep schools that have an air of entitlement....
