OUR ENROLLMENT PROCESS

Students are not accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Decisions are made only after the application deadline and are based on maintaining a balanced classroom environment and a supportive parent community. Returning students and siblings of former and current students who have attended wBees Forest School are given priority. Interested families should learn about wBees Forest School through one of our Zoom tours. Once you apply to our program, your family will meet 1:1 with our administration to learn more about each other. We offer a small-group playdate for new applicants as an optional final step before offer letters are sent out.

Our application is due January 31st, 2025. The first round of decision letters will be sent out starting 2/1, and a non-refundable deposit of $2,000 must be submitted to confirm your child’s spot in our program. Tuition for the academic year will be divided into five equal payments due May 1st, October 1st, December 1st, February 1st, and April 1st. The deposit will be applied to the final payment due April 1st.

wBees Forest School does not discriminate based on race, religion, family structure, gender identification, sexual preference, or national/ethnic origin.
