STEPS TO APPLY

We want to get to know you better! Our inquiry form asks for basic information such as your child’s age/grade, family address, and an email address and/or phone number. Please click HERE to submit an inquiry and we will be back in touch with you soon!

We know once you drive into our beautiful 61 acre campus, you’ll want to experience what we are all about.  During your visit, you will get to know our teachers and students as we walk around and see classrooms in action. You will find Woodlawn to be a welcoming, engaging and energizing environment! Schedule a tour today!

We invite you to submit an application and the $95.00 application fee online. Once the application is submitted, your student will be assigned a checklist which includes instructions on how to request a transcript from your student’s current school (Grades 1-12) and required teacher recommendations for all grades.

Application deadline for first round consideration is January 15, 2025. 

Applications received and completed after the deadline will be considered on a rolling basis. If there isn’t space available in a particular grade, you can choose to be added to the waitlist. The application process and checklist steps must be completed to join the waitlist.

At Woodlawn, we know how valuable it is to explore a school and get a feel for the educational environment on campus. We are excited to offer our Project-Based Learning Day experience! This allows you and your family the opportunity to attend live project shares by our Woodlawn students and see Project Based Learning in action across all grade levels. There is no better way to understand the Woodlawn Way!. You can register for our annual PBL Day online here.

Project Based Learning Day Friday, November 22, 2024 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Discovery Days are our version of a visit day for our youngest applicants. The morning should mimic a preschool setting and feel familiar to your child. These small group observations are about an hour long in length and led by our teachers. 

Discovery Day for Kindergarten – Wednesday January 22, 2024 at 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM

Discovery Day for PK and Junior Kindergarten – Thursday February 20, 2024 at 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM

Your child will have the opportunity to shadow a current student for the day. The visit allows prospective students to get a feel for the schedule of classes, an opportunity to meet the teachers, experience our classrooms and make new friends. During the visit day, Woodlawn School assesses applicants in a one-on-one setting. The Admission Office will reach out to schedule the day after the application has been received.

Once all the steps of the admission process have been completed, we will schedule time for the admission team to meet with each family and share the highlights from the visit day and answer any questions.

Once all the above steps are completed, the The Admission Committee carefully evaluates each candidate on the basis of the visit day, admissions assessments, teacher recommendations, and previous academic records.

Financing an independent school education is an important investment in a child’s future. The value of educating a child at Woodlawn School – with our project based learning, rigorous academic program, small classroom size, personalized attention, superior faculty, state-of-the-art athletic facilities, community stewardship, and limitless opportunities beyond the classroom – is considerable. We recognize that the cost of a private school education can feel prohibitive to many families, and we are committed to making Woodlawn accessible and affordable for the family of each student we admit, regardless of financial circumstances.
