"They start the day with athletics and begin studies afterwards. What a great way for a teenager to wake up! I like that they stay in school until 4:20 so he gets home when we get home."

-- Martha Suss, Parent

Class schedules at Wye River Upper School are innovative because we understand the developmental needs of teenagers. We begin each day with morning sports practice, giving students a physical workout and time to wake up before beginning classes.

  • Our classes generally run 55 minutes.
  • Students receive daily instruction in each of their classes, all year long.
  • Students and families love our early Friday dismissal!

Wye River Upper School offers a student centered environment. Everything we do at Wye River Upper School focuses on the positive growth and development of our students.

  • Our full-time, trained school counselor provides a constant and reassuring presence for our students.
  • Each of our faculty honors the expectation to understand and respond to the individiual strengths and needs of every student.
  • Consistent and frequent parent-teacher communication, primarily through email, ensures that everyone stays connected and involved in our common goal of student success.
  • Our students are held to high behavioral standards and accountability, in school, and in the community.
