Class of 2026 College Acceptances and Matriculations

Class of 2026 College Acceptances and Matriculations

As the Class of 2026 prepares to begin their next chapter as Wellington alumni, we're taking a moment to celebrate where they're headed. All 50 members of the class are college-bound. Our students have enrolled at 36 schools across 16 states and Ireland, from the University of Southern California to Duke, from Trinity College Dublin to Trinity University in Texas. Roughly 60% will study outside of Ohio, and four will continue their varsity athletics careers at the NCAA Division III level in golf, soccer, baseball, and basketball. 

 

The majors they'll pursue are as varied as the students themselves: accounting, archaeology, astrophysics, audio engineering, bioethics, music composition, neuroscience, nursing, theology, and many more in between. The list below reflects acceptances earned through years of curiosity, effort, and care, and the matriculations reflect thoughtful choices about fit, purpose, and possibility. 

 

This class has shown us what it looks like to lead with integrity, support one another through challenge, and take seriously the work of becoming. We're proud of where these students are going. We're prouder still of who they are. 

 

Congratulations, Class of 2026. We can't wait to cheer you across the Commencement stage and on to what's next. 

 

Matriculations are in bold. One attendee unless otherwise indicated.
