Frequently Asked Questions
Is tuition assistance available?2025-09-11T16:03:31+00:00

Yes! Approximately 40% of our students receive some form of tuition assistance. Please apply if your family has need. Learn more here.

What is the birthday cutoff for entering junior & senior kindergarten?2025-09-11T16:02:43+00:00

We ask that applicants for junior kindergarten turn 4 by June 1 and applicants for kindergarten turn 5 by June 1. We rely much more heavily on the results of our developmental assessment than a chronological date, however, so please contact us if you have questions about your child.

What are the admission deadlines & timeline?2025-09-11T16:02:14+00:00

Our admissions committee will consider your application only when all required documents, testing, recommendations, records, and writing samples (as applicable to grade) are received. The first round of acceptances will be communicated on Feb. 15. After Feb. 15, we will communicate as soon as possible after the entire completed packet is received.

What grades currently have wait pools?2025-09-19T14:22:42+00:00

For the 2026-2027 school year, we anticipate wait pools in several Grammar School grades. Please contact our admissions team for questions regarding applications.

What is a wait pool?2025-09-11T16:00:13+00:00

We are so very grateful for the Lord’s blessing for Westminster Academy with an increasing enrollment and interest in our school. However, we still want to encourage families who have interest in our school! Please submit an application so your student can be placed in our wait pool. Through the application process, we will be able to get to know you and your family better. Should spots become available, they will be filled from the pool of applicants with completed packets in the Wait Pool. We very much look forward to meeting you and partnering with you on this important journey!

How do I know if there are available spots in my child’s grade?2025-09-11T15:59:45+00:00

Each fall, we have approximately 30 spots for new junior and senior kindergarten students, as well as 18 spots for new 6th grade students. We will know the available spots on February 1, after current parents have completed re-enrollment.

On-Campus Visits

Scheduling a tour allows us to introduce you to our community in person and gives you a chance to explore Westminster campus. Our student ambassadors will provide program highlights and answer your questions.

Virtual Visits

If you have a few minutes – we have a tour! Considering the most commonly asked questions as well as favorite places on campus, the virtual Grammar School (K-6) tour or Upper School (7-12) tour provides a great first impression of ordinary life at WA

Attend a First Friday Fun

Join us on the first Friday of each month Sept – May from 9-10 am at a free community playtime for babies, toddlers, preschoolers & their parents. Children will enjoy a variety of crafts, stories, and games while parents have an opportunity to socialize. Snacks & coffee will be served. No RSVP required, events take place in the CLC building on Westminster’s campus.

Schedule a Phone Call

Scheduling a one-on-one call with a member of our admission team ensures we can easily connect on the specifics of your child’s or children’s needs and consider how Westminster might meet these.

Connect with WA Parents

Many Westminster parents eagerly offer to support the school by chatting with prospective families virtually or at admission events. Find a family ready to share their journey and answer your questions.
