Re-Enrollment Process

Dear WA Families,
Now that we are on the brink of the spring semester, it’s time to start preparing for the next academic year.
Our online re-enrollment process will begin on February 10 for all current third through seventh grade students. Re-enrollment contracts and deposits will be due by February 24.

We expect waitlists in many of our incoming classes again this year. For this reason, it is important that returning students are re-enrolled by the February 24 deadline.

If you are considering applying for financial aid for the 2023-2024 academic year and have not yet submitted your application, please go to the FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment website . All financial aid applications must be completed by February 3, 2023.

Finally, as previously published, tuition and fees for the 2023-2024 academic year are $21,100 for Lower School (3rd – 5th) and $22,900 for Middle School (6th-8th).

Please contact John Power with any questions regarding re-enrollment and Justin Hebert with questions regarding financial aid.
