Registration for 2025-26 opens in early spring.

Yes, you are welcome to tailor your enrollments to your specific needs. 

A full load for a grammar student may be different than that for a high school student, who may take 5 or even 6 courses. For high school, it is important to decide if you are pursuing graduation on your own or through Wilson Hill Academy. Use our recommended course of study guide* to help you plan your student’s course load.

Yes, a student who meets our graduation requirements will receive a fully accredited Wilson Hill Academy diploma. You can find more information about our graduation requirements here. 

Wilson Hill Academy does not require placement testing for most classes. As a parent, you are responsible for choosing the appropriate level based on your student's age, prior work and abilities.  We do provide a proficiency test for Latin 2 that can be used either to satisfy the Latin graduation requirement or for placement in our Latin sequence.  The cost of that test is credited toward either Latin 2 or Latin 3 tuition if the student subsequently registers. 

Classes begin on Wednesday following Labor Day and end the week before Memorial Day. 

Other than summer classes, all Wilson Hill Academy courses meet for the entire school year.  No academic credit will be awarded for fall semester as a stand-alone course.  Subject to approval of the Registrar, students with appropriate preparation may join a class for the spring semester and receive full credit upon successful completion (which may, in some cases, require some amount of make-up work).  There is no tuition discount for late registration

No, we charge a one-time Student Records Fee of $250 for all rising 8th graders and for new students in grades 9–12. You can pay this fee upon registration or have it included in your deferred payment plan.

The first payment is due upon registration.  You may pay in full, or pay a deposit and have and the balance added to a payment plan.  See our Terms & Conditions for details. You may pay in full, or in equal monthly payments.

Note that for registrations in May or later, the first payment on the deferred payment plan will be due in the month following registration.  For registrations in August or later, the deferred payment plan may not be available.  Students with delinquent payment accounts may be suspended from class.

Course requirements for graduation depend on the year a student first enrolls. Please check requirements here.

Students may submit outside Fine Arts and PE activities for graduation credit by documenting their contact hours. 

A student who transfers to Wilson Hill in grade 10 or above or who takes courses outside of Wilson Hill Academy in grades 9-12 must submit documentation to include an official transcript for all coursework for which he/she would like to receive credit toward graduation from Wilson Hill Academy. Acceptance of transfer courses for credit will be subject to a transfer course review process by the Wilson Hill Academy Registrar.

Wilson Hill Academy is fully accredited by SACS CASI, a division of COGNIA, which validates your student’s hard work in the eyes of universities worldwide. Please view accreditation details here. 

Wilson Hill Academy offers AP courses listed here.

Wilson Hill Academy offers a variety of self-paced and live courses in the summer. In general, however, we encourage students to take a break from regular coursework in the summer and pursue a reading program or other academic interest of their own choosing.

To be placed on the waitlist for a course section that is currently full, simply add the section to your cart and check out. It is free to be added to a waitlist.

We recommend registering for a backup section in case a spot does not open in the class you are on a waitlist for. If and when a seat becomes available, you will be notified and asked to confirm your registration choice. 

Note that when an opening occurs, we process the waitlist by considering a number of factors. The timestamp of the registration is considered while also prioritizing graduating seniors, full-time Wilson Hill students and students who may face time zone challenges based on their location.
