How to Apply

Wondering about the best time to apply? Check out our Admissions timeline for a bird’s-eye-view of our enrollment process. We recommend that you apply by the new year so you’ll be ready to take important next steps in January and February.

Step 1: Start Your Online Application

Our application for the 2025-2026 school year is open now. Begin your application here.

Once you begin your application, you will be directed to login to our OnCampus portal where you will continue the process.

Step 2: Submit Grades/Transcripts

Grades from the current year and the previous year are required.

We realize that official quarter/semester grades for this current school year may not have been released to families yet. A PDF copy of your school’s parent online grade portal (RenWeb, MySchool, Blackbaud, etc.) will suffice for the time being.

Transfer students must submit their current transcripts instead of current grades.

Step 3: Request References

  • English Teacher Reference (student’s current English  teacher)
  • Math Teacher Reference (student’s current Math teacher)
  • Student Selected Teacher Reference (any teacher the student chooses)
  • Pastor Reference (any pastor/youth leader at your church)

Step 4: Submit Standardized Test Scores

Examples: MAP, Terra Nova, Iowa, etc. (if completed)

Step 5: Submit Supplemental Paperwork (if applicable)

  • IEP/504
  • Accommodations Paperwork
  • Custody Information

Step 6: Interview

Upon receipt of the required documentation, Wheaton Academy will contact your family to schedule an interview.
