Dear Alumni,
The Wayland Academy experience provides many opportunities for students to gain
knowledge and develop positive characteristics. Everyday, I am surprised how the
students eagerly meet the many challenges presented to them in the classroom and
in co-curricular activities. Perhaps, as you browsed Wayland's Web site the many
pictures of students seeming to have fun while obtaining Knowledge and Character
reminds you of your Wayland experience.
At Wayland Academy, the majority of knowledge transformation takes place in the
classroom environment. Although character development takes place in the classrooms
too, much more life ready character is developed outside of the traditional educational
setting. At Wayland, students develop life ready character by living in our diverse
campus community, from the challenges encountered on a football field or basketball
court, from the teamwork necessary to produce an on stage production, from a spirited
debate of a current political topic, or from a quiet conversation with a mentor
or classmate over lunch.
I get to witness the Knowledge and Character development process of current students
on a daily basis. While visiting alumni, I get to witness the finished product of
a Wayland Academy experience up close. With every visit, I am truly amazed how Wayland
alums are exceptional people, making a real positive impact on our society. Thank
you for sharing with me your experiences while at Wayland and since. Your financial
support of Wayland Academy is important for us to continue to deliver the Wayland
Experience to future generations.
