East Machias, home of Washington Academy, embodies everything that is great about small town America. It is a rural environment where people know their neighbors and look out for each other. With one of the lowest crime rates in the nation, Maine is a safe haven for WA students.

And there's plenty to do right here in East Machias as well! Walk along the rock-strewn beaches or the newly renovated trail where the railroad tracks once were, go canoeing or kayaking, shop in local gift shops, eat at a local restaurant, hike beautiful coastal trails, go bowling, or take a bike ride and explore scenic roads.
