Since 1855, Wayland Academy has offered students remarkable opportunities for knowledge, discovery, and growth. We continue to give great minds a place to learn and to make an impact.
Innovation requires inspiration— this was a benchmark phrase repeated throughout the Wayland Made campaign. When we challenge ourselves to be better, we set a precedent for the whole community. That’s what it means to be Wayland Made: To be deeply formed by the Wayland experience. To begin where we are and to embrace what is possible. To come together to shape the Wayland community and the world.
In August, Wayland's faculty, staff, and trustees came together to celebrate the close of the Wayland Made campaign. From the construction of Burnham Hall, growth of our endowment, and improvement of Discovery Hall, this campaign left an impact that will be felt for years to come. Now, Burnham Hall is more than just a building; it is a home filled with memories and friendships to last a lifetime. Discovery Hall is more than a classroom, but a place where passions are found and futures are shaped. And, the endowment ensures that generations of students will experience what it truly means to be Wayland Made.
All of this is because of you. We extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our donors and volunteers who made this campaign possible. Thank you for believing in Wayland, for investing in our students, and for being a part of our journey.
Reaching the close of the campaign and having achieved our goals is immensely gratifying. We already see the impact on the students. The Wayland community has grown larger, stronger, and more vibrant from the success of the campaign.
