Wyoming Seminary's Upper School, an independent coeducational day and boarding college preparatory school in Northeastern Pennsylvania, is known as a place where students and teachers challenge themselves and each other to reach their academic and personal goals. At the time of its founding in 1844 by the Methodist Church, 'seminary' was a common name for school. To this day, Wyoming Seminary maintains a connection with the Methodist Church but accepts students of all faiths. Although religious instruction is not part of our curriculum, a required Upper School course, “The Bible and Western Culture,” and weekly chapels are designed to challenge young people with Judeo-Christian values. School accreditations: Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, University Senate of the United Methodist Church, Pennsylvania Association of Private Academic Schools - Profile last updated: 09/07/2007
