Your window into the Waynflete experience.
No website can show you what makes a Waynflete education so special. We want you to see our school for yourself.
Waynflete Admission events give families the chance to hear from Waynflete faculty, students, families, and leadership firsthand and observe and participate in real classes, explore the campus, and imagine themselves as part of our community. Attend as many as you can! We are always happy to see you.
Email us with any questions, or call 207.274.5224.
