Waynflete School

Waynflete was proud to march in the Portland Pride Parade on Saturday! 🏳️‍🌈💚

Students, families, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends came together to celebrate, wave flags, and share joy alongside thousands of fellow Mainers. It was a beautiful day to show up in support of inclusion and community.

Alumnus Sam Yankee ’21 was recently featured in Down East magazine for his publication “The French Connection: How the Grand Trunk Railway Strengthened Maine’s Bond with Canada.” In the article, Sam explores the history of the Grand Trunk Railway and its lasting impact on the cultural and economic ties between Maine and Canada, bringing a fascinating chapter of regional history to life for readers.

Cheers to our students for a year full of curiosity and connection! As they head off for a summer of exploration and time with family, we're taking a moment to reflect on everything that made this year possible.

We couldn't do it without you. Large or small, every gift to The Waynflete Fund helps shape the education our students receive and supports the faculty who guide them. Thank you to everyone who has given this year.

If you haven't given yet, there's still time! Visit waynflete.org/give.

On Friday, we celebrated the Class of 2026 at Commencement, gathering at Thompson’s Point to honor this remarkable group of students. Through thoughtful readings, music, poetry, and reflections from students and faculty, the ceremony marked both the accomplishments of the past and the possibilities ahead.

Congratulations to our newest 54 alumni. We are proud of all you have contributed to the Waynflete community and wish you luck on the path you will take from here. 💚🎓

Student Spotlight: Owen ’28 ⚽

Congratulations to Owen, whose club soccer team, Seacoast ME 2009 NAL, has qualified for the national championships and enters the tournament ranked third in the nation in the U17 boys division.

Competing at the national level is a remarkable accomplishment. We wish Owen and his teammates the best of luck as they take on the nation's top teams this weekend!

Today marked the end of the 2025–26 academic year at Waynflete, and what an incredible one it has been! We've enjoyed sharing all that our students have accomplished throughout the year, and we look forward to sending our graduating seniors off into the world with a big Waynflete celebration on Friday.💚

The Flyers are bringing home the gold!🏆

The varsity boys tennis team have been crowned Class C State Champions after they took on MCI this morning at Bates College. It was an exhilarating match, and to top off their victory, the team was also awarded the 2026 MPA Good Sportsmanship Award. These awards not only highlight the dedication of these athletes, but also the respect they show their opponents on and off the court. Well done, Waynflete Flyers!💚

A good luck wish from our youngest EC students to our graduating seniors💚🍀
