Admission at Watkinson
“The first time we stepped foot on campus, we knew we had a very different thing going on here.”
Leesa Wallace, Alumni Parent
What if happiness at school matters even more than you think?
Research proves that happiness at school directly affects how students learn. When was the last time your child was actually happy at school?
For almost 145 years, Watkinson School has been a leader in student happiness and genuine achievement. Now we’ve compiled the latest research into a free guide for parents. Sign up to receive your report on happiness and student success.
Visit Campus
Your first visit to Watkinson’s campus can take any one of several forms. See the Watkinson community in action at an info session. Prospective students are welcome to come for a tour, or to spend the day with a current student. Lunch (the best school lunch around!) is on us, of course.
Interview
Getting to know you is the most important thing we do. Student and parent interviews can be conducted simultaneously, either in-person or virtually depending on your preference.
