Admissions
Dear Prospective West Hill Families,
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about The West Hill School and for considering West Hill for your child’s preschool experience. At The West Hill School, we create a nurturing atmosphere where individuality is valued and honored. We believe that a diverse and welcoming community fosters a positive experience for all.
We respect and appreciate all differences among members of our school family, including age, culture, disability or handicap, ethnicity, family structure, learning styles, national origin, citizenship status, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, and socio-economic status. We are committed to achieving a safe, equitable, and inclusive environment across all areas of school life.
The West Hill School application process includes:
– A Parent/Guardian Visit,
– Submission of student application and fee, and
– A Child Visit
West Hill begins accepting applications and fees for the subsequent school year on July 1st. Parent/Guardian Visits are conducted throughout the school year and both the Parent/Guardian Visit and application with fee must be completed prior to the Child Visit being scheduled. Child Visits begin in late autumn.
We consider the individual needs of each child and the composition of the class during the admissions process to ensure an appropriate fit for all. Admissions decisions are made by the Admissions Committee beginning in December. We welcome applications after this time, however, applicants may be placed into our wait pool and will be considered as enrollment permits.
Thank you again for your interest in The West Hill School.
Most sincerely,
Kim Maloney
Director of Admissions
