Since 2009, Wy’East Mountain Academy has pioneered and shepherded the online learning experience. With a 100% college acceptance rate, we strive to create a culture and environment fostering student success, whether in our classroom, on the road with their team and coaches, or back home. Individual GPA goals are set with each student, and they are held accountable to their academic goals. Students at Wy'East Mountain Academy are guided to become strong independent learners that are prepared for post-high school education and beyond.

Flexibility - Most students attending Wy'East Mountain Academy are enrolled in Edgenuity, an accredited online elementary and secondary school. The school’s web-based curriculum meets Oregon state standards while licensed teachers provide the instruction online. However, some students may elect to remain with their existing online curriculum. Regardless, Wy'East Mountain Academy provides our own in-class academic advising staff to further guide and support students, helping them stay on track and provide greater depth of understanding. This combination of in-person and online schooling allows our students to succeed whether they're on campus or another continent.

Our Academy staff are dedicated to your student's success and we believe that their education plays a vital role in our students' future whether they achieve Olympic gold or earn collegiate regalia. Please contact us to discuss a personalized program for your child. 

While most of our students attend the entire academic school year, and use our online curriculum platform, some elect to do a single semester and some students choose to use their own curriculum platform while they are here. We have the ability to develop a program that works for you and your child.

Students attending Wy’East are encouraged to pursue dual credit courses through Edgenuity. Those students who are motivated to accelerate their undergraduate education are identified during their personalized academic goal setting session with our Academic Director.

Our International program offers programming for students and athletes from countries outside the US and for US citizens whose families are living abroad. Our school has hosted athletes from Australia, South Africa, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Canada, Russia, Japan, Chile and Saudi Arabia. We are excited to work with our international families to ensure programming that fits their needs and inspires success.

Program/Curriculum:

For international students and athletes our Academy offers full-time study or shorter term 3 to 6 month training camps and travel programs designed to visit and train at various locations and facilities around the US and attend US based competitions in ones sport. Programs can be 3 to 6 months long depending on the type of visitor visa the athlete is granted. A B-2 tourist visa is usually good for 6 months. Longer term programs can last all the way through high school graduation and will require an F-1 student visa.

F-1 Student Visas:

Wy’East Mountain Academy is SEVP approved and fully eligible to issue I-20s for students 7th grade through 12th. F-1 visa students must use the Edgenuity curriculum and maintain good academic standing for the duration of their stay. If an athlete chooses to attend a short-term training camp on a B-2 visa (good for 6 months) or a shorter program on a 90 day ESTA visa, the athlete can choose Edgenuity or any other curriculum.
