Enrollment Procedures for New Students (K3 and K4)

Step I:    Initial Tour & Information (by appointment only)

Step II:  Submit Enrollment Application (K3 & K4) with the required records:

  1. Student’s up-to-date immunization record
  2. Student’s birth certificate

Step III:  Testing of K4 applicants (Applicants for K3 are not tested.)

  1. The Application Fee is paid at the testing appointment. 
  2. An appointment for testing is given if a space is available.

Step IV:  Enrollment Interview.  At this appointment you will -- 

  1. Visit with the Principal and/or the Director of Admissions.
  2. Parents should review the WCS Parent-Student Handbook   (located on the WCS website or pick up a copy in the WCS Admissions Office), and be prepared to ask any questions you may have.

Step V:  Completion of Enrollment 

  1. If applicant is accepted, the family will receive a packet in the mail to complete the enrollment process. 
  2. After reviewing the packet, call the Admissions Office to schedule an appointment to sign your contract and pay the Registration Fee.

Submitting an application, the required records and testing (if required) places your child in the school’s admission pool.  It does not constitute acceptance.  You will be contacted by the WCS Admissions Office regarding acceptance.

**A space will not be reserved for a student who does not complete the enrollment process.

Priorities for Acceptance:
We acknowledge the importance of admitting those who have siblings already enrolled at Westbury Christian School; therefore, we consider siblings first.  Consideration is also given to staff children, members of an area Church of Christ, children of WCS alumni and families enrolling more than one child. 

If a space is not available, your child’s file will be placed on “standby” status.  You will be contacted if an opening occurs.
