About This Handbook

The policies and procedures set forth in this Handbook are not a right or part of the enrollment contract. The procedures herein do not confer any contractual rights on any student but instead serve as an aid to Wilbraham & Monson Academy (WMA) in its everyday decision-making responsibilities. This handbook cannot contemplate every situation, and WMA reserves the right to exercise flexibility in the best interest of the students and the Academy.

Parents/guardians understand that WMA believes a positive and constructive working relationship between WMA and the parent/guardian is essential to the fulfillment of the Academy's mission. WMA reserves the right to terminate the enrollment of any child if WMA concludes in its sole discretion that the actions of a parent/guardian seriously interfere with WMA's accomplishment of its educational purpose.

WMA reserves the right to modify the Student/Parent Handbook with appropriate notice to students and parents/guardians. This current version handbook replaces all prior Student/Parent Handbook versions.

Non-Discrimination Policy

Unlawful discrimination is the unfair or unequal treatment of an individual (or group) based on certain characteristics that are specifically protected by law or Academy policy. These characteristics include: race, religion, color, national origin, age, sex, disability, sexual orientation, genetic information, military status, gender identity and any other categories protected by federal, state or local law.

Wilbraham & Monson Academy admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
