Application Process

I. To begin the application process, request an information packet by calling the Woodlynde Admissions Department at 610-293-6552 for Lower School or 610-293-6534 for Middle and Upper School.  Or, you may use our online admission inquiry form. Please note applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year.

II. Another way to learn about the school is to attend one of our monthly admissions Open House presentations that are held from October through May on the second Tuesday of the month.

III. If you decide to apply, you must submit a complete application, which includes:

    a. Application form
    b. $100 application fee (non-refundable) - check payable to Woodlynde School
    c. Teacher Recommendation Forms
    d. Official school transcripts, report cards, progress reports from your child's current school
    e. Results of a psychoeducational evaluation completed within the last two years

IV.Schedule your child for a visit.

    a. A morning or full-day visit will enable your child to better understand the Woodlynde experience. It provides us with an informal evaluation of your child's academic, social and emotional strengths and needs in order to better assess whether Woodlynde is the best setting for your child to achieve success.

V. How are decisions made? Additional information regarding your child may be requested. Once the completed application packet has been received and a school visit has been completed, the Admissions Committee will assess if Woodlynde is the most appropriate educational placement for your child to experience success and render a decision regarding acceptance to Woodlynde. The review process takes approximately two weeks to complete. At that time, families will be notified by mail of admissions decisions. Woodlynde School admits students without regard to race, color, religious creed, ancestry, national origin, or handicap to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally made available to students at the school. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, religious creed, ancestry, sex or national origin in administration of its educational policies, financial aid program, athletic and other school-administered programs.
