The Application Process
The application process generally begins the fall prior to the year a student desires to enter The Williston Northampton School.
By articulating your interests and requesting information, you will receive detailed information about our program and printed materials that answer many of your questions.
By carefully completing the application form, you will help the Office of Admission assess your candidacy. Once we have received all your application forms, you will officially become an applicant for admission to Williston Northampton.
Important Dates
We will begin receiving applications at the end of December and throughout the month of January. All application and financial aid materials are due in the Office of Admission by February 1. Each application is then reviewed by an admission committee, which makes the final decisions on completed files.
Decision letters are mailed from the Office of Admission on March 10 and accepted applicants have until April 10 to respond. Decisions are made on a rolling admission basis for any student who applies to Williston after the deadline. We encourage late applicants to call us directly regarding the availability of spaces for the coming academic year.
