We provide a rigorous liberal arts education through a challenging, content-rich curriculum and extra-curricular activities that are delivered by skilled, supportive, and creative teachers, coaches, and advisers. We believe in broad knowledge, the equal importance of character and intellect, the benefits of hard work, and the limitless potential of our students. We foster self-discipline, independence, creativity, and curiosity. We welcome families who will embrace our ambitious vision: to develop capable, ethical, and articulate citizens who will seek the challenge, make a difference, and live an extraordinary life…each in his or her own way.

Wakefield School now has an electronic application to be completed online by applicants, and their parents. You will be able to begin the application, save, edit, and review before making a final submission. It is required that you complete your application for admission online. If this presents an unusual hardship, please contact the admission office for an alternative application form. You will also see links to the necessary request forms for teacher recommendations and transcripts. The teacher recommendations and transcripts should be requested, and submitted directly to Wakefield, from current teachers and schools. The deadline for applications is January 30, 2009. Applications completed after January 30 will be considered on a rolling basis as space permits. Admission decisions will be mailed to applicants on March 6, 2009. Enrollment contracts along with the enrollment deposit are due back to Wakefield School by April 3, 2009 to hold a student’s space. |
