All completed application submitted by the fourth Monday in January will be processed and received for admission for the following school year. Any application submitted after the deadline will be processed as space allows.

Request teacher recommendation forms and transcripts

Please submit the Request for School Records and Teacher (Math and English) Recommendation Form(s) with Westerly’s return envelope directly to the applicant’s current school.

All records and recommendations should be mailed directly from the applicant’s current school.

Schedule an shadow day

The shadow day is opportunity for the applicant to experience Westerly firsthand- to participate in a “think tank,” have lunch with potential classmates, and meet potential teachers/advisors.

Each applicant is paired with a currently Westerly student and will travel with the current student to his/her classes. During the Shadow Day the applicant will complete an academic skills screening focusing on math, writing, and reading comprehension.
To help us learn more about the applicant, he or she should bring a completed academic project to the shadow day and be prepared to discuss it.

Come in for a parent interview

After the application is received a person from the Admission Office will be contacting you to schedule a parent interview. The interview is an information share, we are getting to know your family and you are learning more about Westerly.
