This is only my first year here as I transferred here for my senior year to lock in and prepare for college. But from my experiences so far, I think it's a decent school. It has its ups and downs, but coming from an even worse-run school I will say I don't think West Nottingham Academy is as bad as other students might make it out to be. Some of the best parts of WNA in my time so far would be the resources available to me. If I had taken my senior year at a public school, I wouldn't have been given much guidance on applying to colleges, SAT prep, etc. At WNA there is a senior required seminar course that has been game-changing for me. It focuses on SAT prep through the Khan Academy SAT courses, another big focus is the college process. We move at our own pace in the Senior Seminar course as we all have different and unique goals for what we plan on getting out of the course. A not-great experience I've had at West Nottingham Academy has been dealing with unnecessary drama with peers.

I Love it at WNA. The faculty and staff are all caring and makes living away from home very comfortable.

I came to West Nottingham Academy in my senior year as an exchange student. This year is my first year in the USA. I love this school. The kind, diverse community is the best thing about WNA!

My son started West Nottingham this year after he was struggling in the public school system in the major metropolital area in which we live. WNA enabled him to slow down and begin t enjoy learning. He boards so the cost is higher for us, but well worth it to see hm doing so well. Go WNA!

This is school is great and growing! My son has seen it grow in just the three years he has been going there! They have reestablished programs and have incorporated a curriculum where the student can choose from a number of offerings to individualize their learning. Class sizes are smaller, and the...

Small classes, excellent faculty, required service learning and great enviroment make this a great college preparatory school!

West Nottingham Academy provides both the enjoyable school experience our son wants, and the ongoing support for learning and personal growth that we, as parents, want him to have. As a boarding student, our son benefits from the full immersive experience that makes West Nottingham such a life-enric...
