Wasatch Academy is an independent, coeducational, college preparatory boarding school for grades 8-12 located in Mount Pleasant, Utah, United States. It was founded in 1875 by Reverend Duncan McMillan, a Presbyterian Minister who had come to the Sanpete Valley, in the mountains of central Utah, to both recover his health and to do missionary work among the Mormons living in the geographic center of Utah.
Wasatch Academy consists of the Loftin-Lewis Student Center, Craighead Humanities Building, Reemtsma Mathematics and Science Building, Coltharp Center for Evolving Technologies, Studio Arts Center, Multi-Purpose Building (housing the school's secondary gymn, weight lifting room, climbing wall, etc.), Brunger-Wilkey Gymnasium, Music Conservatory, Tigers Den Performing Arts Center, eight residence halls, an administration building, wellness center, and a student-run coffee shop.
The majority of the faculty, many having a Ph.D. in their respective field, live in school-owned homes that surround the campus.
The school has five dual-diploma campuses in China, as a part of joint educational ventures with Chinese high schools. The program at Ruian High School is the first ever granted by the Chinese Ministry of Education. The other partner programs are with the Beijing National Day School, Zhejiang Chengtan High School, Nanjing Foreign Language School and Kunshan High School. They provide Chinese students with a dual diploma, one from the Chinese high school and one from Wasatch Academy.
