Lower School Parent

My son graduated from Charles Wright Academy in 2020, starting in his seventh-grade year. There is no better opportunity in the south sound area for your child than CWA. 

Alumni, Parent of Alumni, Current Parent

As an alum, parent of two alums, and parent of a current student, Charles Wright has been a great fit for myself and my kids. Teachers who genuinely care, small class sizes, tight friend groups, loads of experiential and place-based learning opportunities are just a few of the many aspects that make CWA a great school.

Lower School Parent

The faculty and staff at CWA are the best! They truly care for the kids and one another. Our son LOVES his school and is thriving. We feel extremely fortunate to be part of the community.

Upper School Student

I am really happy with all my teachers. They will make sure you do well no matter what and even though it gets hard at some points, it’s still a great place to be. Teachers really care about you and put the time in to make sure you are supported.
