Come to Woodberry for an interview and campus tour.

Admissions officers conduct interviews on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, beginning as early as 8:45 am. We don’t conduct interviews on school holidays or exam periods, so please check the Academic Calendar when making interview plans. We encourage you to visit our campus overnight, too.

Overnight visits can be done Sunday through Friday nights, and visits are usually either the night before or evening after the interview. Prospective students are assigned to a current student who serves as his host. Those spending the night before the interview should arrive by 6 PM. On the following day the student attends classes, goes on the campus tour with his parents, and interviews with an admissions officer. Those spending the night on the day of the interview will connect with their hosts after their interview. For more information see the box below.

Interested candidates should contact Barbara Darnell at 888-798-9371 to schedule a tour.

Take the Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT).

If you intend to enter grade 9 or 10 at Woodberry, you must take the SSAT. It is offered nationally on the following dates:

• October 11, 2008
• November 8, 2008
• December 13, 2008
• January 1, 2009

The test is given at Woodberry Forest on the last two dates above.

If a student tests at Woodberry, he may not interview on the test date but may interview on the Friday before. An applicant will be required to register on-line by visiting the SSAT web site. The school code for Woodberry Forest is 8272. An applicant should register for a date as early as possible to allow for an alternative make-up date for inclement weather, illness, or to improve his scores.

Candidates for the 11th grade may submit results from the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) in lieu of SSAT results.

Walk-in Registration for the SSAT is no longer permitted. Students who are attempting to take the SSAT as standby testers must complete an Online Registration and provide full payment before reporting to the test center. Standby testers must present a copy of their SSAT Standby Ticket on the morning of the test. Standby testing is not guaranteed - standby testers may be admitted to the test based on the sole discretion of the Test Center Supervisor after all non-standby registrants have been accommodated. Standby testers will then be admitted in order of their assigned Standby Queue Number.

File the remainder of your application.

A completed application consists of the Applicant Essay, Math Teacher Recommendation, English Teacher Recommendation, the completed Transcript Form, and a Personal Recommendation.

Applications to Westminster School are accepted beginning November 1 of the year prior to attendance. Applications are accepted at any time thereafter.

Tours of the school are available, by appointment.

Westminster School offers a superior academic and enriching program for one of the most competitive tuition rates in the Northern Virginia area.  Included in the tuition are all books, supplies, field trips (approximately eight per year for each grade), school pictures, basic P. E. uniform, and participation in the sports program.  While Westminster’s tuition is indeed competitive, financing a Westminster  education is a significant financial investment; therefore, Westminster School offers financial  aid to current and applying families based on need.

The admissions process at Ware Academy is designed to acquaint prospective students and their families with the School.  Applications are accepted at any time, but families are urged to apply by March 1^st for the following school year.  The admissions process typically includes the following steps:
