Worcester Academy

Worcester Academy has provided me with valuable experiences both academically and personally. I had a chance to engage in various rigorous STEM classes and clubs, including post-AP classes like Multivariable Calculus, and the NASA Techrise Team. These experiences shaped my directions in college and prepared me very well in applying to a good college. Personally, it is also a place that I felt supportive and make life-long connections. Either it is in the dorms, sport teams (I have never played a sport before coming here), or in the classroom, teachers are always very supportive and always want us to be success.

WA does a great job of offering rigorous coursework while also keeping class sizes small. Students get to know teachers and feel comfortable seeking help in and outside of class. The school offers numerous student-led activities and sports, allowing everyone to get involved and create an amazing environment and school culture.

The biggest strength of Worcester Academy is its community! It's a diverse and welcoming group of students from around the world and the United States, and my son has enjoyed his time there, making a ton of great friends in the dorms and connecting with his teachers. He is graduating this spring, and is excited to attend a great university in the fall.
