IMPORTANT NOTE:

Our Admissions Deadline is February 1, 2024.  
If the application process for your son is not complete by this date, it is considered late and you may apply to the waitpool.

We will not host shadow days after February 1, 2024.

Late Applicants - Waitpool Procedure
Western Academy expects full enrollment in all grades for the 2024-2025 school year. Each year, however, we may have a very small number of unanticipated openings. Consequently, the following process allows late applicants to apply to our waitpool in the event of such openings. To apply to the waitpool, please

  • Submit an online application form and application fee.

  • Starting April 10, Western Academy will reach out to you if, based available spaces, a student shadow day (a full-day visit) is advisable

  • Following the shadow day, should you chose to complete the process, please request the teacher recommendation and academic records forms from your parent portal, and schedule the family interview by calling admissions staff.

Decisions for waitpool applicants are announced on an as-available basis, no earlier than mid-April 2024 and as late as August 2024.
