APPLYING
The choice between boarding schools is vast, and it's important to find the school that will be the best fit for your student.
Wy'East Mountain Academy is optimal for students who are passionate about their sport, driven to succeed, and willing to put in hard work.
Since our student athletes maintain a rigorous travel and training schedule along with a full course load, it is important that they are truly passionate about what they do.

Join Wy'East Mountain Academy in reaching goals, fulfilling dreams, and expanding the horizons of our students.
Applicants to Wy'East Mountain Academy are closely reviewed based on personal characteristics, school performance, individual sport history, ability and potential. We are currently accepting applications for the 2024-2025 academic year.
