Step 1

Please fill out our simple, online inquiry form to begin the admission process. The form will only take you a few moments to fill out. After completing the inquiry form, you will hear from a member of the admission team who will answer your questions, get to know you, and begin the admissions process.

Step 2

You can begin the application process by either completing the SAO, which we prefer or filling out the application form and submitting the $75 application fee ($150 for international students).

After completing the application form, you can log back into your admission portal to complete and upload the following items:

• A student questionnaire, to tell us a little more about your interests.
• Three recommendation forms, one each from a math teacher, an English teacher, and a school administrator. To send these forms to your teachers, log into your admission portal and enter your teacher’s name and email address. The forms will come back to us automatically once they are completed.
• A transcript or recent grade report.
• An SSAT score report (our school code is 8146) or Character Snapshot (optional).
• A school records release form, which allows the current school to send items such as standardized testing, discipline/attendance records, and report cards, to West Nottingham.
• An interview with a member of our admission team. Please call or email a member of the admission team to schedule your campus visit! Skype interviews are available for international students.
• You can log back into your admission portal at any time to complete any items or to check the status of your application.

Students applying to the Chesapeake Learning Center should upload or email any psychoeducational testing that has been done. Please contact the Admission Office for more information.

For International Students Applying to WNA:

International students should plan to submit a DuoLingo (preferred), TOEFL, SSAT (our school code is 8146), iTEP, IELTS score report. One type of English proficiency exam is required as part of the admission process.

The Duolingo English Test can be taken online at any time. It is a fast and inexpensive alternative to other options – it takes approximately 45 minutes and costs $49. The exam uses computer-adaptive technology, meaning that the questions will automatically adapt to each test taker’s ability, generating a different set of questions for every session. It also integrates a video interview and writing sample. The exam requires a supported browser and your computer’s self-facing camera and microphone. The testing session is recorded and verified by a Duolingo proctor, and the results are available within 48 hours.
