The Admissions Process
Request an Information Packet and an Application by either filling out our on-line request for information form, contacting the admissions office by telephone at 610-399-7900 or by e-mail at admissions@westtown.edu. You will receive these materials at an Open House, if you have not previously received them.
Attend an Open House to become familiar with our programs and facilities. If it is inconvenient for you to attend an Open House, contact Ronnie Montgomery, Associate Director of Admissions, at 610-399-7904 to arrange a tour.
Complete the Application and return it with a non-refundable $50.00 application fee to the Admissions Office as soon as possible.
After your application is received, you will be sent a Records Release Form and a Teacher Recommendation Form. Please take these forms with the envelopes provided to your child's school. The forms should be returned directly to Westtown School. In addition, you will be asked to provide some information about your child on our Parent Questionnaire which you will return to Westtown School in the envelope provided. Please note that we do not require outside testing; we conduct our own as you will see below. However if your child has undergone testing previously, we would like you to submit a copy of the results.
Testing for Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten Applicants: The Admissions Office will contact you to schedule an appointment for testing. Small groups of children will spend one hour with our school psychologist and Pre-K and Kindergarten teachers for an evaluation that assists in determining developmental readiness. During the visit, parents will have an opportunity to view classes in session and ask questions about our program.
Testing for First through Fifth Grades: The Admissions office will contact you to schedule an appointment for testing. Children will visit with our school psychologist for approximately one hour. A variety of age-appropriate tests are performed. During the visit, parents will have an opportunity to view classes in session and ask questions about our program.
