Admissions Process

    • Page Banner

At Waverly, we believe the admis­sion process should reflect the values of our school: personal, thought­ful, and student-centered. 
Whether you’re apply­ing to preschool or High School, our goal is to get to know your child as a whole person and to help your family get a true feel for our community.

We invite you to explore the appli­ca­tion process for each divi­sion below. Each page outlines the key steps, impor­tant dates, and helpful tips specific to your child’s age and stage. Once you’ve submit­ted an inquiry, you’ll be able to access your Parent Portal, where a person­al­ized check­list will guide you through the process.
