ABOVE & BEYOND

Open House is the school’s main event, and a wonderful opportunity to see the school in action! Explore the campus as a family and ask our students and parents about their  WIC experience. All of our teachers, staff, and administrators will also be available to answer any questions you may have about the school and the wonderful opportunities that await our students. 

Open House is usually held in September, so please check our website in August for the date and mark your calendars!

If you weren’t able to attend Open House or still have questions, please contact Mrs. Tatiana Deveau for a private tour.

WIC assesses each applicant individually and uses several indicators to determine if the student will be successful in WIC’s environment. The report cards, teacher feedback, evaluations and group activities will all be considered in the admission process.

Once you have received the responses from your prospective schools, it is time to select the best school for YOUR child.  It’s important to choose the school that best aligns with your family’s values and that will support and encourage your child to reach his or her unique potential.

Once the choice is made, celebrate your decision as a family! This is a time for your child to be proud of his or her accomplishment and to look forward to the exciting new chapter ahead.
