I love Wayland for its community and how open it is. It's positive and it's so easy to find your place within the first week of orientation. Wayland promotes development, transforming people into leaders in their individual ways.

The Wayland experience was something I didn't know I needed in my life. It has changed who I am and the appreciation I have for things, aside from the incredible education. I will always be grateful for getting the chance to grow up at Wayland surrounded by the people who make Wayland what it truly is known for.

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!
