Washington Academy
Washington Academy Co-ed Boarding School Information:
Our Mission
Washington Academy is an independent secondary school committed to the success of each of our local, national, and international students. Offering a comprehensive program of academics, athletics, and the arts, we strive to create opportunities that will equip students socially and intellectually for their future endeavors and prepare them to become productive members of society.
Academics
Small classes + Accomplished faculty = Individualized attentionWith over 100 different courses, accomplished faculty, and an energetic student body, WA has a thriving academic environment where growth and discovery are part of every day life.
Learning at WA is highly individualized. The Academy offers a variety of courses at different difficulty levels so that everyone can reach their potential–from Advanced Placement courses for fast learners to remedial courses for students who struggle a little more than their peers. And with an average class size of 16 students, every student receives individual attention, which studies show translates to faster learning.
Washington Academy is known for providing strong, broad-based education. WA offers courses in literature, science, and history as well as courses found only in college such as psychology, sociology, and economics.
“I like the small classes because you get to know the teacher better and you get more individual attention.” – Taylor Seeley, student
“Last year I took Advanced Placement European history. Even though it was my toughest subject, it was also my favorite.” -- Lily Evans, student
Residential Life
There’s no place like home. That’s why WA works hard to make students feel like they’re with family. Residential students have a choice between living in a dormitory or staying with a host family.
Whether a student is coming from Toledo or Tokyo, living away from home can be a bit scary. But soon, Washington Academy becomes home, too!
