Admissions - Wellington Collegiate Academy

Please note that services provided by Wellington Collegiate Academy (WCA) and the school district are considered supportive in nature. WCA does not currently offer additional support and resources for students who may not succeed in a traditional or mainstream classroom setting. We strive to assist our students in achieving success and work in partnership with our parents. We provide a robust faith-based curriculum. We understand that WCA and our curriculum may not be the best fit for all students, and we collaborate with parents to determine what is best for their children. In some cases, we may recommend that parents seek other schools or environments that best meet their family's needs.

Step 1 — Take a Tour

Begin your journey at WCA by submitting an inquiry through our online Schedule a Tour form or by calling our main office at 561-784-1776 to schedule an appointment. We will gladly answer your initial questions and arrange a campus visit so you can explore our facilities and learn more about our programs.

Step 2 — Submit a Completed Application

All items listed below are REQUIRED for each child in order for the application to be reviewed:
•    Completed online application
•    $250 application fee, paid online (non-refundable & non-transferable)
•    Current year’s report card and transcript
•    Previous two years’ report cards
•    Previous two years’ standardized test scores
•    IEP, 504 Plan, Psycho-Educational Evaluation, Academic and/or Behavior Plan (if applicable)
•    Copy of child’s birth certificate

Reference forms from Math and English teachers and the principal paper applications may be filled out and emailed to info@gowca.org, or dropped off at the school along with all required documents. Payment of the application fee must be made at the time of drop-off.

Step 3 — Initial Application Review

Your application will be reviewed within 24–48 hours of completion. Once the Admissions Committee has reviewed your materials, the Admissions Office will notify you via email or phone regarding your application status (invitation to test or placement on the waitlist). Please note that submission of an application does not guarantee space or acceptance.

Step 4 — Invitation to Test

Testing is required for students entering Kindergarten–12th grade and will be scheduled by invitation from the Admissions Department. A $25 testing fee is due on the day of testing. Please provide a 24-hour notice for any cancellations.

Step 5 — Invitation to Interview

All applicants are required to participate in a family interview. Both parents must be present unless extenuating circumstances prevent this.

STEP 6 – Final Admissions Committee Review

After testing and interviews are completed, applicants will undergo a final review by our Admissions Committee. Please note that you will not receive an invitation to register until this review is complete. Official acceptance (or non-acceptance) will be communicated via email.

STEP 7 – Registration and Enrollment

Once parents receive official acceptance, the online enrollment packet must be completed and the $250 Registration/Enrollment fee (non-refundable and non-transferable), along with any other applicable fees, must be paid within 72 hours. Failure to meet this deadline will result in the spot being offered to the next applicant. After completion, a final confirmation email from the Admissions Office will verify your enrollment.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Wellington Collegiate Academy operates on a wait-pool system for all submitted applications. Submission of an application does not guarantee placement. A spot is not reserved until all required documentation and fees are submitted in full and an official acceptance letter has been issued.
Applications for the upcoming school year open to the public on December 8th. Upon submission, your application will undergo an initial review by our Admissions Committee. Selected applicants will be contacted to schedule admission testing and family interview.
