Washington Academy (WA) is a private preparatory high school in East Machias, Maine. Founded in 1792, the Academy has an enrollment of 438 boarding and day students.
The Maine Department of Education pays the school to take high school students from the unorganized territories of Cathance, Edmunds, Marion, and Trescott in Washington County. Students in other parts of Washington County may elect to attend as public school students. Due to the school taking public tuition money, Joyce Kryszak of the Maine Monitor stated that it is a "public-private" school.
