Parents are encouraged to make application for their children early in the school year preceding the year of matriculation. All applicants are required to complete entrance tests/screenings. Admissions screenings (Preschool & Kindergarten) and testings (Grades 1-11) are scheduled for applicants early in February.

Acceptance to Worcester Preparatory School is based upon the evaluation of the student's entrance test/screening, academic transcript (Grades 1-11), overall school record, and available space. Once the admissions file is complete and evaluated by the Admissions committee, if the student is accepted, parents are sent a written offer of admission for their child. If space is not available and the Admissions Committee feels the student would do well at Worcester, the student's name is placed on the wait list.

Worcester Preparatory School is committed in its consideration and acceptance of students and in its hiring of staff, to the principles of non-discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, creed, and/or national origin.
