The Wyoming Seminary Board of Trustees adopted a new Mission Statement, written below, in 2024.
Wyoming Seminary inspires students to lead lives of integrity, purpose, and excellence by developing the critical skills and spirit of community necessary to succeed and serve in a global society.
This Mission Statement, while modern in its language, resonates with the principles and aspirations that have guided the school since its inception. It reaffirms Wyoming Seminary's commitment to fostering a learning environment that produces academically accomplished, morally grounded, socially responsible and creative young people.
A graduate of Wyoming Seminary's centennial Class of 1944 once reflected on Sem's intimate history with its past in an edition of the Opinator student newspaper.
"Wyoming Seminary is not its buildings, its presidents, its faculty, its students, its standards, and yet, it is all of these," she wrote. "I look back upon the tradition of its life and feel that it is good. The very buildings speak. You have but to tune your ear to these old walls to hear a tale of human courage and integrity which will thrill you and make you proud of your right to become a part of it. Here you may learn to use the knowledge which sifts the True from the sands of time. Here you may see that Good is constructive and well-ordered; while bad, aside from just being bad, is the author of confusion and unhappiness. Here also you may find that through the freedom of self-control, the True and the Good resolve into the Beautiful."
