ADMISSION PROCESS INFORMATION
If there are more applicants than spaces, WMS accepts students based on a lottery system. WMS does not operate on a wait-list system. Instead, we aim to achieve balanced classes in terms of age and gender. Applicants who are siblings of current students or those that have graduated from our complete Three Year Program have enrollment priority. Our major intake of new students happens at the start of each school year in September. After our admissions process completes in mid February, all spaces for September are filled. Occasionally, a space becomes available during the school year. This space is filled by a family who has completed an application and is on our Reserve List. |
