Step 1: Request Information
To learn more about the Williston Middle School, please fill out our inquiry form, and we will mail you a viewbook and enter you into our system. Once you do this, you will receive instructions on how to create a username and password to access our Admission Portal, which will allow you to track your progress along the way.
Step 2: Schedule an Interview
Our deadline for Middle School interviews is January 31, however we still have opportunities to interview through the end of February. Please call (413) 529-3241 or email our admission team to schedule your interview.
Step 3: Submit Standardized Testing
If you have standardized testing in the last two years including SSAT, WISC, MCAS, or other, please submit with your application. We will not require applicants to take the SSAT for Fall 2022.
Step 4: Attend our Open House
An optional step in the Admission process (but well worth doing!) is to attend our Middle School Open House webinar, which is on Tuesday, January 10, 2023 at 7 p.m. You and your family will join a conversation with current faculty, students, and parents about the Williston Middle School community and the exceptional opportunities and educational experiences Williston offers.
