Faculty
The faculty of the Academy is comprised of the master teachers and
visiting scholars who teach the juniors and, by association, the
professors and instructors of WPI who teach the seniors. The four
master teachers represent the core teaching staff. They are
experienced, inventive, lively, thoughtful, caring adults –
exemplary classroom practitioners. The visiting scholars, typically
four, are equally intelligent and responsive. They come to the Academy
to work and study alongside the master teachers, frequently
contributing special expertise gained in previous teaching positions,
industry, business or research. In turn, the outstanding professors
and instructors of WPI provide university-level expectations and
content in a dynamic and rigorous way.

Students
The 100 or so students of the Academy represent the geography of
central Massachusetts and beyond. They are smart, motivated,
challenging, friendly, and respectful adolescents, particularly adept
at math and science, but by no means limited to these fields, as their
poems, theatre productions, music recitals, and prowess in athletics
will attest. As all adolescents, they experience good times and hard
times to the max; but their determination to do well and desire to do
good mark them as very special young people indeed.
