Wilbraham and Monson Academy (or WMA) is one of the oldest educational institutions located on the east coast of America, and is ranked in the top-10 ranking of private high schools in the United States.
Already more than two hundred years in the walls of this school are formed special traditions and develops its rich history. From year to year, WMA tirelessly develops and outstrips its rivals - it was the first school in the United States for mixed studying and for the first time enlisted foreign students in the distant year of 1847. For many years of painstaking work, Wilbraham and Monson Academy has earned a reputation as a world-class educational institution (the Global School) and today it is known in all corners of the world.
WMA is known as a school providing its students with a high level of preparation in such disciplines as mathematics, economics and natural science subjects. Today it successfully operates the Center for Entrepreneurship and Global Studies. Graduates of this private school after graduation go to the leading universities of the country, as well as to the universities of the world-famous Ivy League - Harvard University, Princeton, Stanford University and not only.
The special atmosphere of mutual respect and trust created on its territory helps to achieve such successes. Here young people from all over the world learn to reach high results not only in academic knowledge, but also in communication with others.
The main goal of WMA is to educate individuals who can analyze, assess and generally think globally. In this school, true leaders are born who are ready to conquer the world.
From the 6th to the 8th grade, the pupils of the school undergo a daytime education, where the following disciplines are compulsory:
In the upper grades of WMA (from 9 to 12) the list of disciplines increases significantly with respect to secondary school:

Academy students Wilbraham and Monson live in one of the 12 residences of the school campus, but only senior students (from 9th to 12th grade) can stay there. In the buildings for young people comfortable and cozy rooms are equipped with basic furniture and household items. Also in each hostel there are at least four educators who look after the children and, if necessary, help them in emerging issues.
The students are offered accommodation in host American families, each of which is carefully selected preliminarily. To date, the management of the school has already planned the construction of a new residence, which will be intended for pupils of the 8th grade, so that very soon several more classrooms will be able to live on the school grounds.
Special attention is paid to the issue of nutrition in the WMA: three meals a day (if necessary - dietary or vegetarian) are waiting in the school cafeteria of the residents living in the residence. Those who live in a host family are fed once a day - lunch.
The school has a reason for pride in the issue of catering: since 2008, the chef works here to develop a menu for students! Thanks to such a thorough approach to the issue of nutrition, the guys have 5-6 options (for example, sushi) for dinner, a chic salad bar, and a wide assortment of desserts, where ice cream appears a couple of times a week.
