Our Campus

Facilities & Services purpose-adapted for the visually impaired

The Hein Wagner Academy takes a holistic approach to training. We offer our learners a broad scope of services and resources tailored to their needs. Our campus accommodates students who commute daily, as well as long-term students who reside on campus.

We believe that training for the visually disabled requires immersion and real-life experiences, which is why we also offer recreational and sporting activities, as well as social events for our students. We strive to engage local communities in our initiatives.

A unique pillar of the HWA model is our fully accessible Residential Campus. We remove the crippling socioeconomic and logistical barriers of daily commuting and boarding by providing secure, comfortable, full-board accommodation within walking distance of Worcester's amenities.

An inclusive, collaborative community where learners share practical coping strategies, study together, and build lifelong networks that transition into the professional world.
