Admissions

Dear Prospective Students and Families,

Welcome and thank you for your interest in World Academy! The search for the right school for your child and family can be a daunting task. Careful planning and research should go into the process no matter what age or educational level you are looking for. This important decision will fundamentally shape your child’s future, and it can be a decision that weighs heavily on a parent. Parenting would be so much easier if each child came with his or her own manual of individual “how-to” tips to assist you in successfully navigating your children into adulthood: how to get them to nap and how to get them to listen, to how to teach them critical life skills like self-advocacy and how to foster a love of learning. But there is no manual or mold. There are no quick fixes, because what works for one child is not a guarantee for the next.

Each unique child that walks through our front door comes to us ready to be nurtured and encouraged to be the best version of who he/she is meant to become. Our mission is designed to create and support a generation of innovative critical thinkers in becoming the visionaries of tomorrow. How? We let them be them. World Academy’s 21st century curriculum fosters and facilitates its students’ exploration of the world while letting each student’s natural curiosity allow him/her to endlessly inquire and think about the what, why, and how. Our inspired teachers provide an environment rich in knowledge and diversity, carefully designed to maximize on the potential of each student. We espouse an atmosphere of respect and empathy to allow each student to develop at his/her own pace, while stretching the bounds of his/her imagination, empowering each with the knowledge that there are no limits to what can be achieved.

This is what sets World Academy apart from other schools. We are committed to providing an innovative 21st century education to students of all ages and stages to fully develop the “whole” child. Academics are critical to the foundation for future school and professional success; but what about the person your child is becoming? The physical, socio-emotional, cognitive, cultural, and creative aspects of your child are what truly make each, not only an individual, but a well-adjusted, independent person, who can successfully navigate whatever challenges life presents. Each journey is as different as each child, and we believe in giving your student individualized support throughout that journey.

I hope that you will poke around our website to see our beautiful Lookbook, read about our amazing teaching staff, and get an honest feel for what makes World Academy a different kind of community. We are here to give each student a world of opportunity, and I invite you to call or email me with any questions or to set up a tour of our campus to see what we have to offer not only your child, but your family. We work for you and your family to give your child a “world of opportunities.”

Thank you again for your interest, and welcome to our ‘World’!

Families of students applying to First through Eighth Grade should contact the Admissions Office upon deciding to apply, by calling Samantha Wingate, Director of Admissions at 603.888.1982 or via email at swingate@worldacademynh.com. The Admissions Office will schedule an exam once an application is complete. The exam takes anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes and covers Language Arts, Math, and a Writing segment.

Admissions Decision

Once the above requirements have been satisfied in full, World Academy will return an Admissions decision to the student and his or her family.

Upon receiving an acceptance decision, please register your student for class immediately. Registration documents and fee must be submitted to the school within two weeks of an acceptance decision to secure the student’s enrollment in the class. Student health and immunization records along with signed authorization releasing the student’s records from his/her previous schools to World Academy should be submitted. Due to a limited number of available spaces, we ask that families please return Registration Fees and paperwork in a timely manner to ensure their student’s placement in our program. World Academy reserves the right to deny the registration of an accepted student if the class has reached capacity or additional information on the student indicates the student may not be a good fit for our school.

Tuition & Fees

World Academy seeks to attract bright students and families whose varied interests, aptitudes, talents, motivation, and character will enable them to undertake and master the school’s program with enthusiasm and success. Since it is our goal to provide an enriched environment that will foster social, intellectual, physical, and emotional growth for all of our children, we feel the needs of the child and wishes of the parent are of ultimate importance in the admission process.
