For 7th Grade applicants: Because applications have increased dramatically, we will not be able to interview everyone. To enhance your opportunity to receive a one-on-one interview, please file your application, along with the autobiography, by November 11, 2020. Once we have received your application and student autobiography, the Admissions Committee will screen applicants and determine if an interview will be granted. All admissions interviews will be held online via Zoom. Interviews require both the student and a parent/guardian. Students will be given a writing prompt to complete while the parent/guardian is being interviewed.
The final application deadline is December 4, 2020, at midnight.
For 8th through 11th Grade applicants: As space is very limited in upper grades, the Admissions Committee will conduct an initial screening of all applicants for each grade and then select candidates for a personal interview. Selected candidates will be notified by phone with an interview date. All admissions interviews will be held online via Zoom. Interviews require both the student and a parent/guardian. If an interview is not granted, you will be notified by mail in December or January.
Applicants to grades eight and above will be required to take an online exam that will measure reading comprehension and writing. The exam will last approximately an hour, will be administered online via Zoom, and proctored by Windward faculty virtually. Exam registration is available on the applicant's checklist once the application is submitted. If a student qualifies for extended time, please contact Lauren Rice at 424-289-1001 or
admissions@windwardschool.org to arrange testing.
The final application deadline is December 4, 2020, at midnight.
