Admission Priority
Application Priority By Type
Each year, admissions and enrollments are conducted based on a priority system where available space is offered in the following order:
​1. Continuing and Transfers Students: Students currently attending (including mid-year transfer students) are automatically enrolled for the following school year. So the best way for any prospective student to achieve admission to West Virginia Academy is to complete a new student application and contact the school to transfer prior to the priority deadline for new student applications.
2. Timely Applicants: Prospective students for the following school year who complete a new student application by the priority deadline of May 1st are admitted for the next Fall based on available remaining space and, if the total applications for any grade level exceed the available space, then a lottery is held to randomly select students for admission and wait-list any students who are not admitted.
​
​3. Applications After the Deadline: Prospective students who apply for the upcoming Fall after the priority deadline of May 1st are admitted in the order each application is completed. All new student applications are time-stamped. If the grade level for the applicant is full then the student is wait-listed in the order in which the new student application is received.
​​
Completing Registration and Enrollment: Once notified that a space is available, new students must complete all of the registration forms and pay the experience fee to accept their spot at West Virginia Academy for the next fall. Failure to timely pay the activity fee, respond and/or provide registration documents by any deadlines communicated to the family may result in an admitted child's space being given to a wait-listed student.
West Virginia Academy will not contact the school where a newly admitted student for the fall is currently enrolled to request a release of the student's records until over the summer break after the current school year concludes and student grades are finalized for the current academic year. Transfer student records are requested immediately upon accepting admission.
