Wasatch Academy is an independent, coeducational, college preparatory boarding school for grades 8-12 and post-graduates located in Mount Pleasant, Utah, United States. It was founded in 1875 by Reverend Duncan McMillan, a Presbyterian minister who had come to the Sanpete Valley, in the mountains of central Utah, to both recover his health and to do missionary work among members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints living in the geographic center of Utah.
