• 4. Appli­cant and Parent Inter­view (required)

  Once your appli­ca­tion is submit­ted, you’ll be able to sched­ule your family inter­view, which includes both the appli­cant and parent/caregiver(s). Inter­views are required for all high school appli­cants and will take place on campus between Decem­ber and February.
  
  

  This is a chance for us to connect more person­ally and get to know your student as a learner, thinker, and commu­nity member. Students are encour­aged to bring some­thing mean­ing­ful to share — a personal inter­est, passion project, or creative piece. It can be some­thing they’ve built, written, performed, explored, or simply feel proud of — acad­e­mic or not.

• 5. Visit our Social Justice Seminar (optional)

  High school appli­cants are invited to spend part of a day on campus, sitting in on our Social Justice Seminar and connect­ing with current Waverly students. This optional visit offers a glimpse into class­room life and our commu­nity in action.
