Choosing a school is a big decision. We’ve made the process as honest, transparent, and personal as we can — six clear steps from inquiry to enrollment, and an admissions team that answers every question.
Apply online at admissions.westbrookacademy.example. $60 non-refundable application fee, waived on request. Three short essays for the student, one for parents.
Every applicant tours the campus, sits in on a class appropriate to their grade, and interviews with our admissions team. Parents interview separately. Visits are by appointment, Tuesday through Friday and the second Saturday of each month.
SSAT or ISEE scores (Grades 5+), two teacher recommendations (English and Math), and your current school’s transcript for the past two years. All documents arrive directly from your school or testing agency.
All application materials must be submitted by 11:59 PM on January 15. Late applications considered case-by-case if space permits.
Decisions and financial aid awards are posted simultaneously to your online portal by 6 PM on March 10. We do not release decisions early.
Signed enrollment contracts and a 10% deposit secure your child’s seat. Your admissions counselor will be in touch the week decisions go out to answer every question.
We read every application carefully — transcripts, essays, recommendations, and interviews together. Strong students have curiosity, persistence, and the capacity to grow alongside our community.
There is no minimum SSAT or GPA threshold, no formula, no quotas. We are looking for the next Westbrook class — students who will use a Westbrook education well.
In 2025–26, 34% of our students received financial aid; the average award was $26,400. Westbrook is need-blind: admissions decisions are made before financial aid decisions, and we meet 100% of demonstrated need.
Aid applications are processed through SSS and reviewed by our financial aid committee. Reach out with any questions — we are here to help.

Westbrook supports students with mild-to-moderate learning differences when our program is a strong fit. Our Learning Support team reviews documentation with each application and consults with families before any decision is made.
Siblings of current Westbrook students receive thoughtful consideration but are not automatically admitted. Strong sibling applicants do enjoy a meaningful boost.
Our 2030 graduating class (current Grade 5) has 64 students from 14 sending schools and 9 zip codes. Roughly 39% identify as students of color; 31% receive financial aid.
Yes — we encourage it. Shadow days are offered November through February, Tuesday through Thursday. Email admissions to arrange.
