Step 4 — Child Visit Day & Assessment

We tailor the visit by age/grade to get to know your child as a learner and community member. Schedule the visit in the Parent Portal after you apply.

  • Kindergarten–Grade 2 (typical visit):
    Children spend a morning on campus with Westland educators and peers. The visit begins with a warm one-on-one assessment with a Westland educator, followed by small-group exploration and play with peers. The visit typically lasts about an hour. No preparation is needed.

    Grades 3–6 (classroom visit + skills snapshot):
    Older applicants spend approximately three hours on campus. They complete a skills-based assessment and join a current class to participate in group work and daily routines. The experience allows us to see how a student engages in our classrooms. 

    Out-of-area or off-season applicants:
    When travel or timing makes a standard visit difficult, we’ll arrange an individual on-campus or alternative assessment. We’ll work with your family to find the best approach.

Step 5 — Admission Decision

Families are notified of admission decisions at 5:00 pm on March 13, 2026.
