    From Wayland Academy

    At Wayland Academy, we don't call it the heartland for nothing. Since 1855, our independent, coed college preparatory school has fostered unique thinking outside the box while maintaining a down-to-earth culture. Wayland is a place where you will be surrounded by peers who will celebrate, challenge, and support you. Wayland students find passions they have yet to explore during their time on campus, and they find joy in learning through inquiry, creative problem-solving, and meaningful experiential learning opportunities. Wayland is in the heart of the Midwest in a safe and welcoming community where you are a short walk from the movie theater, restaurants, and the lake. Everything you need is right here in the heartland!
