Charles Wright Academy

Faculty and staff from across Charles Wright Academy recently completed Wilderness First Aid certification training — an investment that reflects our deep belief in learning beyond the classroom. From the Beginning School to the Upper School and Administration, participants strengthened their emergency response skills, ensuring that the outdoor learning experiences central to a CWA education are not only enriching, but safe and well-supported at every step. When students explore, take risks, and grow in the outdoors, they do so knowing the adults around them are prepared for anything — a quiet but powerful expression of what experiential education at CWA is all about. 💚🌲

Congratulations to the Class of 2030! 🎉 We’ve cherished every moment of this incredible journey through Middle School with you. Here’s to the bright future ahead! 💚

Another year of unforgettable memories at Sea to Sky! 🌊☀️ Our fifth graders came back from Canada last Friday after a few incredible days in the forest! 🌲 From nature hikes to canoeing, archery to campfire performances, our Tarriers had so many stories to come home with! 💚✨

Senior Week just got a whole lot wiser. 🎓✨ Three amazing alums came back to campus today to share some knowledge with our graduating class — Kaitlyn Ashcraft '25 (Seattle University), Abby Lowy '25 (University of Washington), and James Zhao '24 (Vanderbilt). Topics ranged from course registration, roommates, time management, dining halls... and yes, shower shoes. 🚿👟

Thank you for coming back and sharing your experience with the Class of 2026! Once a Tarrier, Always a Tarrier! 💚

🎓 Congratulations to the Class of 2026! We are incredibly proud of each and every one of our seniors as they close this chapter and step boldly into the next. From coast to coast and even abroad, our graduates are headed to amazing places. Swipe to see where they're going. The future is bright, Tarriers - and we couldn't be more proud! 💚

✨ This is the Portrait of a Tarrier in action. Meet Waylon L. '27, an AP Spanish student who visited our Spanish 100 class yesterday to teach an incredible 40-minute lesson. Waylon planned and delivered an engaging experience for his fellow Tarriers. A communicator, collaborator, and thinker who helps fellow Tarriers grow in their language learning journey.

We're proud of you, Waylon! This is what student leadership looks like!
