Admissions Process

Dear Prospective Families,

We are still accepting applications for the 2019-2020 school year in the grades in which there is space still available. Please call or email for more details on a specific grade. The deadline for summer applicants is Monday, July 22, 2019. Many families consider having their child(ren) attend Summer Camp as a way to get acquainted with Wilson School. Register here for Summer Camp.

Inquire here or schedule a Parent Tour to get started and we will respond with information on the next step in the process.

We hope you find a home in Wilson!
