Admission Procedure
A. Enrollment Application: (One per child) Applications are accepted beginning October 1st for the following school year. A student's Enrollment application should be submitted as soon as possible. The Pastor and Educator Reference forms may be submitted separately.
B. Application fee: Application fee is $75.00* per child.
C. Completed Pastor Reference Form: (one per child) The Pastor Reference form may be completed by the Senior Pastor, Sunday School Teacher, Children's Ministry Director, or anyone at your church who knows and works with your child.
D. Completed Educator Reference Form: (one per child) The Educator Reference Form is usually completed by your child's current teacher. If your child is not enrolled in preschool or is home-schooled, the Educator Reference Form will not be required.
E. Test Results: Please submit copies of any standardized testing scores and any IEP (Individualized Education Plan) reports to the office prior to your interview with the Superintendent if your child will be entering 2nd-8th grade.
A. Entrance Exam: All students applying for admission to WHCS must take an entrance exam. The purpose of this test is to determine whether the students are academically prepared for the grade level for which they are applying. These test scores are not used for priority placement into WHCS.
- Individual testing appointments will be scheduled for each child applying to WHCS. The Admissions Coordinator will call you to schedule an appointment after receiving your child's completed enrollment application and application fee.
B. Parent/Superintendent Interview: The next step in the admission process is the Parent/Superintendent interview. Interview appointments will be scheduled after the Admissions Coordinator has received the Enrollment Application, Application Fee, Pastor Reference, Educator Reference, and the entrance exam.
B. Letter of Confirmation: A confirmation letter will be sent to all applicants by the first week of March to notify you if your child has been accepted. Applications for students beyond the number we are able to accept will be placed in a waiting pool.
C. Waiting Pool: We maintain a waiting pool, not a numbered waiting list. Several factors are considered when an opening occurs, and an applicant is offered placement in any given grade. Among the factors are date of application and siblings who are attending or applying for entrance.
D. Late Application: Applications received after January 31st, will be taken on a first come first served basis. Notwithstanding, all requirements for admission must still be met by each family member applying.
