Upon submission of an application, students applying for a Kindergarten space may be asked to take an entrance evaluation, including a Kindergarten Readiness Screening. 

​

Lower School and Upper School Students: Upon submission of a completed application, prospective students will have a scheduled visit at WHS in the program for which they are applying for enrollment. Typically this visit lasts the duration of one school day (8:30 a.m. until 3:15 p.m.). Students applying for enrollment will also be asked to provide a writing sample and two teacher letters of recommendation. The student’s visit may include additional assessments.

​

Upon acceptance, you will be sent an Enrollment Agreement. To secure a space for your child, you must complete this Agreement and return it to the school within one week of your notice of acceptance, together with a $500 deposit. This payment is non-refundable but applies toward the annual tuition. It is important you understand that upon receipt of this Agreement by us, you will become responsible for the tuition for the entire school year (or for the remainder of the school year for mid-year enrollment). Please read this contract carefully, as it clearly outlines the applicant’s responsibilities.
