Application Process

Thank you for your interest in Wayne Christian School! We look forward to meeting your family and sharing more about the opportunities ahead for your child. Individualized attention is a hallmark of the WCS experience, and our admissions process is no exception. During this exciting time, we anticipate partnering with you to ensure your student is set up for success.

Steps to Joining the WCS Family

Visit Us! +

We welcome (but do not require) you to get started by calling the admissions office at 919-735-5605 ext. 127 to schedule a tour at WCS! It’s a great opportunity to explore our campus and receive grade-specific information. 

Application +

The following must accompany the application:

  • Copies of previous school records including
  • All educational and diagnostic testing
  • Standardized tests
  • Transcripts
  • Report cards from the last two years or a transcript for students in 8th grade and higher
  • Pastoral Recommendation
  • Teacher Recommendation
  • Copy of birth certificate
  • Application fee of $50.00
    • Testing +

    After receiving the completed application packet, the admissions office will schedule your student for testing (grades 1-12). This placement test will take about 90 minutes and will test your student in reading, writing, and math.

    Interview with Admissions Committee +

    The admissions committee will review your application after the placement test. If the committee decides to move forward with your application, an interview appointment is made with the parent(s)/guardian(s) and child to meet with an administrator. This interview is a time to answer questions you might have, determine the school’s ability to meet the needs of your student, and assess philosophical compatibility.

    Admission Decisions +

    While we would love to accept everybody who applies to WCS, limited space means that we are not always able to accept all applicants. Applicants who meet all admissions criteria but for whom we do not have a seat available will be placed in the waiting pool and offered admission if/when a seat in the desired grade comes open. 
    Acceptance, non-acceptance, or placement in the waiting pool will be communicated to all families in writing. The first round of admission decisions for the 2022-2023 school year will be sent on Friday, January 14, 2022. After that, admission decisions will be sent every other Friday. 

    Enrollment +

    Within your acceptance email, you will receive a link to your enrollment packet. The online packet must be submitted within two weeks if you are accepting admission for your child. A non-refundable $500 enrollment fee is due upon submission of the enrollment packet to hold your seat for the upcoming school year.
