Step 1: Request information

To learn about Williston’s academics, arts, athletics, and more, please fill out our inquiry form, and we will mail you a viewbook and get 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: Interview

It is Williston’s expectation that prospective students within two hours drive of campus will visit Williston for an in-person tour and interview, barring extenuating circumstances. Our interview schedule is located on our Visit page. For prospective students who cannot make the trip to campus for an in-person tour and interview, a limited number of Zoom interviews will be made available – to request an interview via Zoom, please contact the Admission Office at (413) 529-3241 or email admission@williston.com.

Williston requires all visitors to provide proof of vaccination before or at the start of their visit to campus. Please email your vaccination or testing information to admission@williston.com prior to your visit or be ready to show this document upon arrival to campus. If you are planning to visit Williston, and any member of your party is not vaccinated, please contact us for the most up-to-date procedures regarding your visit in advance of your planning.


Step 3: Take the SSAT (Optional)

While Williston will not require applicants to submit standardized test scores when applying, students are welcome to submit a standardized test score or complete our supplemental question through the Standard Application Online to satisfy our testing requirement. We also recognize that standardized testing is a strength for some of our applicants – applicants are welcome to submit any scores and encouraged to submit educational testing as part of their application. For proper class placement purposes, we will still require students who do not identify English as their first language to submit results from the TOEFL or a similar English language proficiency test.


Step 4: Submit your application

Before submitting an application for enrollment for fall 2023, please contact the Admission Office at admission@williston.com or (413) 529-3241 for an update on our status regarding enrollment at Williston.
