Why WMA? Insights Into Our Preeminent Prep School in Massachusetts
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.
Here are a few reasons that WMA is considered to be among the most innovative, inclusive and outstanding college prep schools in MA.
We Cultivate Global Leaders
The era of globalization is upon us. As advances in transportation, communication and technology continue to speed up, the way people, government and companies interact on the world stage is changing. That's why our Center for Entrepreneurship, Economics & Finance (CEEF) prepares students to successfully enter an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world.
CEEF is a major component of WMA’s on-campus global classroom. Through offering courses in entrepreneurship, finance, diplomacy and trade, WMA ensures our students develop their competitive edge by the time they graduate.
Our Students Learn Through Real-World Application
WMA's Mark R. Shenkman Trading Center encourages students to engage in exploratory research and hands-on trading experiences. Through real-world immersion in the global financial environment, students form a holistic understanding of the world they will soon enter.
This private-school perk is WMA's way of creating opportunities for students to discover first-hand how their individual actions, global decisions and international organizations interact on a global scale. When students learn through real-world application, it empowers them to take ownership of their potential to bring about change.
Our Students Travel the Globe
Every year, WMA provides unique opportunities for students to travel around both the country and the world to elevate their studies. Through educational globe-trotting, students explore the global relationships of people and economies in the globalized world. Travel is a big part of our global school that provides yet another opportunity to experience people, culture and challenges across the globe.
The No. 1 element that makes WMA distinct is our students. They come from 32 nations and 12 states. Whether you're looking for a private school in the Massachusetts area or elsewhere, you'll find that WMA is ready to help grow students' minds.
