Washington Academy is one of the oldest college preparatory schools in New England.

With more than 100 different classes, students have plenty of options to shape their studies to their interests and needs. In addition to excellent programs in traditional studies such as Science, Mathematics, English, and World History and Culture, Washington Academy also offers unique hands-on programs like Boat Building and Environmental Science. Our extensive use of "nature as a classroom" sets us apart among boarding schools in Maine and New England.

In addition to college preparatory courses, Washington Academy offers many exciting, enriching electives. These include Digital Film and Video Production, Music Appreciation, Creative Writing, Computer Programming, and Web Design. We also have many advanced placement (AP) classes for advanced students, as well as the opportunity for juniors and seniors to take free classes at the nearby University of Maine at Machias.

Washington Academy students are required to take 20 credits to graduate: four English credits, three Social Studies, including U.S. History, three credits each in Science and Mathematics, one Fine Arts and one Physical Education credit, and one half credit each of Health and Computer Proficiency.
