School Notes Overview:

Wayland Academy was founded in 1855 and for 152 years has continued to fulfill its objective of educating young people. The Academy’s programs will continue to place a strong emphasis on intellectual, spiritual, and physical growth so that its graduates will take active and fulfilling roles in society. Wayland Academy is committed to encouraging the following core values essential for life-long learning and the development of character as reflected in our motto: “Knowledge and Character”.
