Welcome!

Wye River Upper School is a non-profit, Maryland, independent high school for grades 9-12. We serve bright students, bound for college and post secondary education, with dyslexia, ADHD, ADD, and other unique learning styles as well as any student who may benefit from:

• structure
• low student/teacher ratios
• frequent parent-school communication
• rigorous core academics
• hands-on learning experiences
• college advising program
• morning athletics
• technology across the curriculum

Our Philosophy is shaped by our guiding belief in the power of each student's unique talents, skills, interests and goals.

We are located on the campus of Chesapeake College in scenic Wye Mills, Maryland, just 15 minutes from the Bay Bridge. Our students and alumni are from nine Maryland counties, including Anne Arundel, Calvert, Prince George's, Montgomery, Howard, Kent, Queen Anne's, Talbot, Caroline and Dorchester, the state of Delaware and the District of Columbia. We offer a daily shuttle bus service between our campus and various stops in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
