About Wayne Preparatory Academy
Why families choose Wayne Preparatory Academy
Wayne Preparatory Academy is a tuition-free public charter in Goldsboro, North Carolina, built on the belief that all children learn when taught carefully at their instructional level. WPA uses data to drive decisions and maintains a culture of leadership, positive behavior supports, and earned consequences.
Elementary and middle grades meet on Tommy's Road; high school expands the pathway on Patetown Road. Families apply online each spring; a lottery runs when applications exceed available seats.
Wonderful Foundations is one of WPA's most consistent grant partners, funding campus improvements year after year.
