Thank you for your interest in The Willow School for your family. The search for the right elementary school for your child is both exciting and challenging. We invite you to schedule an appointment to discover what is so special about Willow. Our buildings have won numerous design awards but it is what happens within the walls of the buildings that matters most. As stated in our mission, The Willow School is a place that is committed to combining academic excellence and the joy of learning and enables children to experience the wonder of the natural world. Teachers guide students to learn how things are connected and foster independent thinking, creativity, responsibility, and integrity.
Admissions activity begins in the fall of the year prior to enrollment. Parents may request an application packet or make an appointment to visit The Willow School by contacting the Admissions Office at 908-470-9500 x1015. Tours and classroom visits are conducted during the school week in order for you to view the interaction between the teachers and students firsthand.
To apply, please complete and return the application forms which are available from our office with a $100.00 non-refundable application fee (please make checks payable to The Willow School). Applications that are received on or before February 1 will be evaluated during the month of February, with notifications to be made in March. Applications received after February 1 will be considered to the extent that openings are available.
Upon receiving your application, the Director of Admissions will contact you to arrange for a one-hour child assessment, which determines readiness for The Willow School program. In addition, preschool and kindergarten applicants will participate in a playgroup during the month of February; grade one through grade eight applicants will spend the day in the grade in which they are currently enrolled.
I invite you to contact me to schedule a personal tour of our campus.
Annette Worthington
Director of Admissions
