Middle School Registration

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.

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. Full-time middle school students are more prepared for the rigor of a full high school course load.

No, students can’t register for themselves in SIS. Only parents have access to the Registration tab from their SIS parent account.

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.

Yes. If needed, you can add, swap, or remove courses from your child’s schedule through August 31 for the fall semester and January 20 for the winter semester (with approval from your student's school of record).

Yes, in some cases. If you have an advanced student in grade 8, you can request permission from your student's school of record and our Registrar to enroll them in a high school math, writing, world language, or Independent Studies course. Middle school students who take high school math or world language can receive high school credit (pending approval from both your child's school of record and Williamsburg).

Yes, our middle school Humanities courses are offered in both Classic and Honors versions. Students in both versions 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.

Most middle school core courses are offered exclusively in our live-online format. The following courses are available in the self-paced format: 

• Photography A/B
• Typing
• Intro to HS Math A/B
• Health
• World Language

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.

Our World Language courses are designed for high school students and offered for high school credit. Students in grades 6-8 can enroll in these courses, but might not be prepared for the additional workload. If you feel your middle school student can successfully complete a self-paced, high-school-level language course, please check with your student's school of record for approval.

Yes, we offer Intro to HS Math A & B in the self-paced format during the summer. If you are interested in summer courses for your student, please check with your student's school of record prior to registering to ensure they will approve funding for summer classes.

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).
