Overview

一百四十多年前，麦克米兰先生以其对教育的独到见解和远见卓识，独具慧眼，选中了Mt. Pleasant这一环境优美、幽静、安全的西部小镇作为这所后来日渐壮大的犹他州唯一的大学预备寄宿学校的所在地。在这里，学生们平日专注于学术追求；而到了周末，丰富的野外活动设施和近在咫尺的国家公园便成了他们挥洒青春、释放能量的舞台。 从建校伊始，瓦萨奇学院的定位从来就不是竞争异常激烈的所谓“顶尖”、“精英”学校，而是致力于培育完整健全人格，为大学输送快乐、友善、健康、自信的全面发展的优秀学生。 对于学术成绩优异的学生，瓦萨奇学院有足够具有挑战性的课程、无与伦比的课外活动机会以及细致入微的个性化的升学指导，帮助他们成功进入心仪的学校继续深造。每一年都有相当数量的毕业生被名校/藤校录取，包括普林斯顿、哈佛、耶鲁、麻省理工、芝加哥大学、剑桥、牛津等世界名校。 对于具有体育、音乐、艺术、计算机等兴趣和专长的学生，瓦萨奇学院所能够提供的支持和机会更是在同类学校中首屈一指，令许多“顶尖”私立高中都自叹不如。例如，犹他州第一、全美前五（根据MaxPreps)的篮球队；利用学校自己的滑雪场设施以及美国滑雪队在帕克城的卓越训练中心的超一流训练设施全力打造的全美绝对领先的高中雪上竞技项目；2019年8月新成立的现代音乐中心汇聚和整合了全美顶级音乐资源，包括茱莉亚音乐学院和伯克利音乐学院的教授和课程支持、全美顶级音乐表演培训机构Soundhouse的全力支持与合作等等；全美最佳演讲、辩论和模拟联合国团队；为有艺术专长的学生提供专业指导和实践机会的先进的视觉艺术中心；为爱好计算机、机器人、火箭等的学生提供探索现代科技的创新技术中心大楼和新落成的工程中心大楼；拥有室内和室外跑马场和40多匹骏马的马术设施，等等。 瓦萨奇学院最为关注的、也是最为自豪的，就是帮助每一个学生成功，开心、自信地做最好的自己。
