School Notes:
  • In 2002, WMA established the Center for Entrepreneurial & Global Studies (CEGS) and the Bicentennial Scholars Program.
  • The CEGS program, the first of its kind at the secondary school level, introduces students to the world of international business through hands-on experience and exposure. Students do not just read about leaders in financial world, they meet them face-to-face. They do not just study economic theories; they see them in action and learn how they fit in political and social spheres. The CEGS curriculum offers a series of courses in economics, entrepreneurship, and global markets.
  • The CEGS program extends beyond the classroom and academic year with students traveling overseas for a comprehensive overview of international business and finance. WMA launched its first student trip to Thailand this summer. Under the direction of the Center for Entrepreneurial & Global Studies, twelve students participated in seminars with government officials, company executives, and financial market experts. In addition to the academic curriculum, the students also enjoyed some of the wonderful culture of Thailand.
  • Classes at Wilbraham & Monson are small and interactive with a student/teacher ratio of 7:1. Our faculty members wear many hats and aspire to know students on many different levels. Students may have the same person as a teacher, dorm parent, coach, and advisor. Our faculty members are not only teachers, they are friends and mentors. Our faculty play an integral role in helping students reach their potential inside and outside the classroom.
  • Wilbraham & Monson Academy recognizes the importance of the imaginative, aesthetic, and spiritual development of each student - the development encouraged by the arts. The arts – whether through one’s hands, voice, body, or thoughts – offer an important venue in addition to academics and athletics, where a student can develop his or her potential. The Fine & Performing Arts Department is all about opportunity and potential. Whether a student is a novice or a seasoned artist, offerings in this area provide students with the chance to find and cultivate their talents.
  • Through hard work and the support of enthusiastic and committed coaches, our student- athletes learn the value of self-discipline, teamwork, commitment, and physical fitness. We are proud of our teams, and we believe that the opportunity to test oneself, to engage regularly in physical exercise, and to learn varied skills are critical components in the physical and emotional development of our students. With over 20 interscholastic and recreational offerings, students are able to choose sports that best suit their needs and strengthen their skill level.
