Admissions FAQs

Our school community is built upon and committed to upholding our Statement of Faith. In the Lower and Middle Schools, we require at least one parent to agree with and sign that Statement of Faith and regularly attend a local church.

Our cut-off date is September 1; children entering Explorers 1 should turn 4 years old prior to September 1. Explorers 2 applicant should turn 5 years old prior to September 1. Wilberforce is academically rigorous. We want our students to succeed at Wilberforce -- to flourish, growing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and others.

For families that apply prior to the regular admissions application deadline, admissions decisions are communicated in accordance with our Key Dates schedule. For families applying after that deadline, admissions decisions will be made and communicated on a rolling basis, generally within two weeks of the parent interview.
