New to Williamsburg?
If your student is new to Williamsburg, we suggest scheduling a 1:1 phone consultation with an enrollment advisor before registering to ensure we’re a good fit for your student.
How to Register for Courses
- Sign in to your SIS parent account.
- Under “My Students,” click the tab with your student’s name on it.
- Click on the “Registration” tab.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to select your student’s courses in each subject. We recommend registering for both the fall and winter semesters at the same time.
- Once you’ve selected your student’s courses, move through the confirmation steps and accept the Enrollment Agreement.
- As your payment method, select “Yes” for “Paid for by a third party,” then find your partner organization’s name in the drop-down menu and select it.
- Select which classes will be paid for by your partner organization (based on the total amount of funding they provide).
- Finally, your amount due should be reduced to match the funding from your partner organization. Select your payment method for any remaining balance, click “Submit,” and that’s it!
Additional Tips

How to Create a Parent SIS Account

Note: Be sure to use a valid email address for your parent account and a separate, unique email address for each student you add. We will send important information via email to both you and your student.

How to Add a Student to Your Existing SIS Account

- You can view more details, including mentors for each section, in the Williamsburg Course Schedules document. While this document can be helpful for planning your student’s preferred sections, only SIS has the most up-to-date info about which sections have seats available.
- All class times, mentors, and other course details are subject to change depending on enrollment numbers.
Is your child new to online learning or looking to sharpen their study skills? We highly recommend registering them for our Study Skills course! This one-week sprint—held prior to the start of fall classes—will set your student up for an easier, more successful school year.
FAQs
Registration
-
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.
We encourage you to work with your student's school of record to select courses when registration opens each year.
-
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.
Students who enroll through a public education partner and fulfill Williamsburg's graduation requirements can receive an accredited Certificate of Merit from Williamsburg.
-
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 my child take any Williamsburg courses they would like to?
To have your student's tuition covered by a partner organization, they must take courses that are approved by that organization (also known as your student's "school of record").
If your preferred partner organization does not cover the cost of a course your child is interested in taking, you may register and pay for courses on your own through Williamsburg Academy Private School.
-
Can I change my student’s classes after they’re registered?
Yes. If needed, 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 (with approval from your student's school of record).
-
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 (with approval from your student's school of record).
-
Should my student follow Williamsburg's graduation requirements?
Because your child is officially a student at your chosen partner organization (also known as your child’s "school of record”), they are subject to the graduation requirements of that school. You can check with your partner organization's academic counselor to review their graduation requirements and make sure your student is on track to graduate.
If your student meets the graduation requirements for both their school of record and Williamsburg, in addition to the diploma they will receive from their school of record, they will also receive a Certificate of Merit from Williamsburg and can fully participate in our online graduation ceremony with their peers from other Williamsburg schools.
We list Williamsburg's standard graduation requirements on this website for informational purposes only.
Types of Courses
-
Does Williamsburg offer Honors and AP classes?
Honors Classes: Yes, our live-online Social Studies, Writing & Rhetoric, Literature, High School Math, and Pre-Calculus courses are offered in both Honors and Classic versions. (Self-paced courses are only available in the Classic format.)
Students in Classic and Honors courses meet in the same live class sessions, but Honors students complete roughly 30% more work.
You can select either the Classic or Honors version when you enroll in SIS. Students can move from one version to another with approval from their school of record through September 6 for the fall semester and January 17 for the winter semester.
AP Classes: We currently offer AP U.S. Government & Politics (Winter semester). This course is available to students in grades 11 and 12.
-
What self-paced courses are available for high school?
Many of our online high school core courses are offered in both “live” and “self-paced” formats. Most Fine Arts, PE, and Electives are offered exclusively in the self-paced format. The following courses are available in the self-paced format:
- All Math courses
- All Science courses (except Astronomy)
- All Leadership courses (except Student Body Leadership)
- All Language Arts courses
- All Social Studies courses
- Fitness for Life
- Mind & Body Stewardship
- Second Language
- Electives
Whenever possible, we recommend taking live-online courses over self-paced courses for the best academic experience and results. Self-paced courses should be selected only if necessary.
-
What Independent Studies courses are available for high school?
We offer high school Independent Studies courses in PE, Fine Arts, and Electives. Not all public education partners approve funding for these courses. Please check with your student's school of record prior to registering.
For more information on Independent Studies courses, please contact Customer Support.
-
Does Williamsburg offer summer classes?
Yes, we offer most core and Independent Studies high school courses in the self-paced format during summer. Offerings include:
- All Math courses
- All Science courses (except Astronomy)
- All Leadership courses
- All Language Arts courses
- All Social Studies courses
- Fitness for Life
- Mind & Body Stewardship
- Second Language
- Independent Math, PE, Fine Arts, and Electives
Please check with your student's school of record prior to registering to ensure they will approve funding for summer classes.
Next Steps
-
After I register my student for courses, what’s next?
Once your student is registered, all that’s left is preparing for the first day of school! To help with this, we highly encourage you to review our How to Prepare for School page and on-demand Parent Orientation videos. We’ll also email you and your student with information about student orientation assignments they will need to complete in Canvas (our online learning management system).
