The school is a blend of history and modernization. As you approach, you will first see the tall white tower of the original Academy Building, built in 1823, which is home to foreign languages, mathematics and special education.
From the front steps, you can see both the Cates House and the Larson House, both dorms for boarding students.
Across the street, the newly renovated Alumni Building serves as the heart of Washington Academy. It includes many classrooms, guidance, five computer labs, the performing arts stage, and the cafeteria as well as an inviting library with over 10,000 books.
Directly behind the Alumni building is The Gardner Gymnasium, one of the best athletic facilities in the state. It has two courts and a seating capacity of 1,100, a weight room and a training room. Also within the gym complex are the music classrooms. As soon as you step inside, you'll see how seriously we take music: we have tiered seating and practice rooms as well as a computer lab for music composition.
Beside the Gardner Gymnasium is the Industrial Technology Building. This building contains the Marine Trades program, Industrial Arts and Computer Networking and Repair. The Marine trades classroom area has computerized numerical cutting equipment, a professional paint booth, fiberglass boat building machines, as well as equipment for the construction of historical bent lathe canoes!
Behind the main buildings are the soccer, baseball and softball fields, and outdoor basketball courts. Behind the fields, a cross-country course winds its way up through steep and rugged blueberry fields.
