"Ware Academy empowers each student to achieve academic excellence, emphasizing the development of mind, body and character."
Admission Decision and Notification:
Admission decisions are made by the Head of School, Director of Enrollment, and the Admission Committee. Decisions are based on all supporting documentation, the student visit, and the number of openings available.
Every effort is made to ensure that Ware Academy and the student are well matched and that the applicant will have a successful experience at Ware Academy.
Notification of the status for admission is typically communicated within one week of the completion of all admission requirements.
Once an applicant is accepted to the school, the following happens and is required:
- Parents are offered an enrollment agreement.
- In order to reserve a space, parents must submit the agreement and deposit within two weeks of the acceptance date. This deposit will be applied toward the total tuition fee.
