Community

Waynflete gives students the freedom to find their personal style, celebrate their identity and culture, voice their opinions, discover their passions and interests, and direct their learning. With no pressure to fit in, Waynflete students are empowered to stand out.

There is no “typical Waynflete student.” It is cool to be yourself and work hard at whatever you do. Just as the bond between teachers and students is at the heart of our curriculum, a shared commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion connects our community.

Come see for yourself how warm and welcoming Waynflete can be!
