Welcome to the Wyncote Academy Web site - from Head of School

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the Wyncote Academy Web site. The school Web site, like the entire Wyncote Academy community, is quite unique, diverse, and creative. Whether you are among our current students, proud alumni, or curious prospective students, I am certain that you will find exciting places to visit and explore. In addition, parents, educators, and friends of our school will also find many areas of interest on our site. I am quite proud of our students, faculty, programs, and activities, and am pleased to present a portrait of them to you in this exciting medium. Please visit our sitemap for assistance if you cannot find the page you are looking for.

Wyncote Academy is an incredible community and exciting learning environment, filled with some wonderful contradictions.

• A turn of the century manor house, filled with the latest
  state-of-the-art technology.
• An academic program that is challenging and broad, yet realistic and highly individualized - we achieve a fine college placement record without allowing grades and test scores to be all prevailing.
• A rich and abundant artistic community that is also home to championship athletic teams.
• Solid and traditional classroom experience, combined with exceptional outdoor explorations, international excursions, and experiential learning
• A diverse community of teachers and families who come from a broad selection of ethnic, racial, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds, committed to the same common goals of spirit, understanding, and unity.

Indeed, Wyncote Academy's contradictions are its greatest strength. The support and respect afforded to all members of our school community create unique opportunity for personal growth and discovery. It is a great reward for me to be a part of such an exceptional environment.

What you see on this website is but a small sampling of Wyncote's true community. I hope that you will be encouraged to visit us and join in our spirit of discovery for yourself. Like many before you, I am certain that you will find a rich and exciting place to learn.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. I am proud to serve this wonderfully diverse community as Head of School and even more pleased to be the person welcoming you to explore it. Enjoy your internet journey and please come visit us in person whenever possible.
