Student Life

Our student life helps high school students achieve independence. The Wye River Upper School staff takes pride in working to find the balance between a teenager's quest for independence and their continued need for structure and boundaries. We focus our instruction and enrichment on the social, emotional, physical and academic strengths and needs of our students.

Academic rigor and high behavior standards are central to the positive development of future citizens and young adults. Student life includes:

• Field trips designed to expand our students' horizons and reinforce their classroom learning.
• A variety of off campus learning opportunities.
• Access to counseling in life skills and choices.
• Supervised interaction in college settings.
• Work/study and internship opportunities for seniors.
• Dual enrollment opportunities for qualified students.
• College Advisory Program for all students

"My daughter loves Wye River. She loves her teachers, she loves her classes (even Math!,even Latin!), she loves her Apple laptop, she loves being on the college campus with new friends. I am so grateful that Wye River Upper School exists to make school success possible for her and for other children who think, learn, create and develop in their own unique ways." - WRUS Parent
