 Admission Process

  • Please visit our Admissions Welcome page to learn more about our unique approach to preschool admissions, and check out our Application Process page for a step-by-step breakdown of our application process..

  • At ACTS Secondary School, it is important for parents to become acquainted with our school and our community. Therefore, we require parents to take part in a school visit, which includes a group interview for parents only. During the school visit, parents will have the opportunity to meet various members of The ACTS Secondary School team and community. They will also have the chance to observe the rich and thoughtful teaching and learning in our beautiful classrooms.

    We believe that formally interviewing and assessing children at this age is not informative. Our curriculum is carefully designed, and our teachers are highly trained to adeptly meet children where they are, meaning that our children are deemed 'ready' simply by becoming part of our community.

    There are numerous advantages to focusing on conversation and connection rather than formal interviews and testing. To us, the most significant benefit is that prospective parents gain a genuine understanding of The Washington Market School experience and how truly special it is to be a part of our community.
