B. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Statement

Members of the WMA community come from many backgrounds and bring many different gifts. As part of that diversity, the Academy enrolls qualified students with documented physical, psychological and learning disabilities and other health issues. The Academy recognizes some accommodations will be necessary to ensure access to its academic and other resources and is committed to providing that support for students legally entitled to it.

Although the Academy does not offer special programs for students with disabilities, the Academy is committed to providing reasonable accommodations in academics, housing and other programs and services to address the disability-related needs of otherwise qualified students with disabilities. Reasonable accommodations are interventions (excluding personal services) that are designed to enable students with disabilities to enjoy equal access to the full array of programs and supports offered at WMA without creating an undue burden on the Academy, fundamentally altering the nature of a Wilbraham & Monson Academy education or lowering its standards.
