WIHI's General Application Process:
The application is a three step process, which includes:
Step 1: Complete Online Application - The online application must have current school year grades and a completed discipline form from current school. WIHI/WIMA does not request discipline records for students. This is up to the family to obtain prior to applying. The discipline form can be found on the application.
Step 2: To help eliminate in person meetings, all required documents must be attached to the application.
Families will be prompted to attach these documents as they complete the application with a jpeg or pdf file only. Families who do not have all their documents ready when they are completing their application can save their progress and come back to finish it later.
Step 3: Student placement testing - While testing is important and students should try their best, placement testing does not determine acceptance. Placement testing helps us determine where to place students and if any summer and/or school support is required prior to transitioning.
The placement testing dates for incoming WIHI students are in March.
All students, except current WIMA students, are required to complete placement testing.
Incoming WIHI students will be tested on Math, Writing and a Second Language of Spanish or French. If a student is not currently taking Spanish or French, this assessment does not need to be completed.
All students are given 3hrs to complete their testing. This is to help accommodate any student who may need extended time when testing.
Students who may need additional accommodations, must include a copy of their IEP or 504 plan on the application. We will contact those families a week before their testing date to confirm accommodations.
Once all three steps have been completed, students will have a complete application and will then be entered into our lottery system.
Current WIMA students, WIMA/WIHI siblings and WEOC Employees are given priority placement when applying to WIHI, as long as they apply by the deadline.
Lottery results will be emailed to families in April and families will have 48hrs to accept or decline their spot. If a family does not respond via email within 48hrs or declines their seat, that student will be dropped and we will move on to the next student on the waitlist. This will continue until all spots have been filled, up to the first week of October.
Families will receive email updates throughout the process, after the lottery takes place, to help keep families informed and help answer questions.
If you have any questions about the application process, please feel free to contact our Admissions and Enrollment Manager, Kelly Cartwright: KCartwright@wihi.org.
