FAQs
Registration
-
Is my child eligible to register at Williamsburg Academy?
Yes! Williamsburg Academy Private School is a private online school available to students worldwide. You can pay privately for your student to take any number of courses with us, but we recommend registering for 4 or more courses for the best academic experience and results.
-
Do I need to complete an application before registering my child?
No, our school runs on an open-enrollment basis, so there is no application process for you to complete before registering for classes!
-
Is registration first-come, first-served?
Yes, registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. We have a limited number of seats in all courses, and we do not reserve seats for returning students. However, we always notify current families when registration opens for a new semester.
-
What are the benefits of registering my child full-time?
Results show that full-time students who enroll in the Williamsburg program (taking four or more courses) achieve higher grades, develop vital time management skills, and make deeper social connections with their peers and mentors. They also outperform their peers on ACT/SAT exams and are better equipped for life as adults after graduation.
-
Can my student register for classes on their own?
No, students can’t register for themselves in SIS. Only parents have access to the Registration tab from their SIS parent account.
-
Can I change my student’s classes after they’re registered?
Yes. You can add, swap, or remove courses from your child’s schedule through September 6 for the fall semester and January 17 for the winter semester.
Please see our FAQ page for info on our course drop policy and 100% satisfaction guarantee.
-
What if my student is advanced in math or writing?
In this case, you may enroll your student in a more advanced math or writing course. If they have already earned official high school credit for a recommended course, they should work with our Registrar to decide which course to take instead.
-
Can my student transfer credit to Williamsburg?
Students can transfer credit into Williamsburg Academy that can count towards graduation. We evaluate credit transferred in from other schools according to the following guidelines:
- The credit must be earned in a regionally accredited school for grades 9-12.
- The transfer credit must meet Williamsburg’s academic standards.
- The transfer credit will be evaluated as to whether or not it satisfies one of Williamsburg’s graduation requirements. If not, it will be listed as an elective credit.
Transcripts from other schools should be sent to the Registrar’s office via email, fax, or postal mail.
-
What are Williamsburg Academy's graduation requirements?
Please see our graduation requirements page for a detailed list. Enrolled high school students who meet these requirements can graduate with an accredited high school diploma.
-
What if my student wants to graduate in three high school years instead of four?
Some ambitious students want to pursue their diploma in three high school years instead of four. If your student would like to pursue this path, please contact our Registrar to build a graduation plan and then register accordingly.
