Igniting Minds. Inspiring Futures.
Clubs and Activities
Washington Academy is definitely a place where students can discover their talents, find like-minded friends, and be themselves. If math is your thing, WA has an award-winning math team. What about theater? The Washington Academy Players Troupe is recognized regionally for their one-act play performances and annual fall plays. What if WA doesn't have a club or activity that sparks a student's interest? Students at WA create their own activities each year, from knitting to snowshoeing to archery. The experience of creating a club encourages leadership and individual growth while fostering communication and long-lasting relationships with their peers. Most importantly - it's a lot of fun.
