Is Your Child New to Williamsburg Academy of Colorado?
If you want to enroll your student at Williamsburg for the first time, you’ll need to complete a New Student Application for them. Please scroll down and review the information on this page for full details!
Is Your Child Returning to Williamsburg Academy of Colorado?
If your student has attended WAC within the past year and plans to return next school year, you must submit a Returning Student Application in SIS. Once we receive and review the application, we'll contact you with the next steps.
Parents of returning students do not need to schedule a consultation with an enrollment advisor.
