History

Established in 1855.

Wayland Academy was founded as Wayland University on January 31, 1855. Although the Academy has been a nondenominational boarding school for more than seventy years, it was initially chartered as a Baptist university and named for the president of Brown University, prominent educator and Baptist minister Francis Wayland. The school has the distinction of admitting both men and women very early in its history, and today it is the oldest continuously co-educational boarding school in America. Strong leadership throughout the 19th century helped Wayland continue to evolve and develop into the school it is today. Wayland continued to evolve and adapt through the 20th century. During this time the school saw significant campus improvements and economic stability. Into the 21st century, Wayland continues to evolve and adapt providing students from around the world, across the country, and just down the street with the education and experience they need to succeed in college and in life.
