Set on a picturesque, safe 100-acre campus in the rolling countryside of north-eastern Maryland, WNA is the US’s longest-standing day and boarding school with the newest ideas about education. It’s a combination of historic values and future-focused knowledge that results in this enriching student experience at WNA.
