Washington New Church School

Washington New Church School frames education as developing the “heart, head, and hands”—cultivating loving affections, growing wisdom, and practicing good actions through service. They emphasize a safe, nurturing environment that motivates learning, teach academics and the Bible through a spiritual lens, and meet each child where they are developmentally and academically. Students are guided toward usefulness and self-discipline through daily responsibilities and community-minded habits.

WNCS’s admissions steps are: schedule a school tour (they direct families to contact Bonnie Cowley by phone or email), then meet with the pastor (a parents-only meeting about the church’s teachings that underpin the curriculum). (wncschool.org) Next, families submit the application with the nonrefundable $300 application fee and provide prior school records; the site also links a Record Request Consent Form for requesting records from previous schools. (wncschool.org) The student then completes testing/assessment at the school, followed by an academic interview with the principal; acceptance is communicated after that meeting. (wncschool.org) Key dates/discounts shown on the website include an application discount deadline written as “April 31st” (note: April 31 is not a real calendar date) and also language that the discount applies to applications received before May 31, plus a separate tuition-payment discount if at least 20% is paid by August 10; confirm exact deadlines directly with the school due to these inconsistencies across pages/forms. (wncschool.org) The website pages reviewed do not describe a waitlist process or any priority admissions categories, so you would need to ask the admissions contact whether (and how) they use waitlists or prioritized enrollment.
