By the numbers
At Home. In the World.
Wilbraham & Monson Academy offers an unparalleled private school experience. Home to one of the most inclusive educational experiences of any private school in the Massachusetts area, WMA prides itself on its curriculum just as much as on its students. Our students don't just get an education—they transform into challenge-seeking, critical-thinking, globally contributing citizens.
As a community of learners we are constantly engaged and learning from each other. We are a student-centered environment that embraces different student experiences from around the world. At WMA we ask a lot of our students, but we are also there to guide them. Whether conducting independent research, designing a robot in our iLab, building an investment portfolio in the Trading Center or traveling across the globe, we will meet you where you need to be met ... and raise you to the next level.
We believe students will embrace their learning if they have a choice in what they study, and we provide a variety of levels so they can experience an appropriate challenge. Students at WMA have the ability to tailor their coursework to their abilities and interests. Our curriculum is a blend of traditional core requirements with innovative course offerings that allow students to be curious about new interests or to dig deeper into areas of great interest. We offer a number of course levels to choose from, including more than 40 honors, Advanced Placement (AP), and post-AP classes.
