Directions to WMA

Location

The Academy is in the center of the town of Wilbraham, located in western Massachusetts, seven miles east of Springfield. It occupies 300 acres of what was formerly rich farmland and wooded hillsides. The town itself, incorporated in 1763, is essentially suburban and many residents commute to nearby Springfield and Hartford, Connecticut.
