The Willow School admits students any time there is an opening in a classroom. However, the majority of students enter the school at the beginning of the school year in August of each year. Spots that become available during the school year are typically filled from the wait list. If the wait list is exhausted and there is still a spot available, we will advertise that availability through social media and local news sites. If you would like to place your family on the wait list you can find the Wait List Application 2020-21 below.
Enrollment for 2020-21 School Year
Enrollment for the 2020-21 school year will begin on February 1, 2020. We will contact families from the wait list to fill available spots in each classroom. If spots remain after exhausting the wait list, those spots will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
If you wish to apply for the 2020-21 school year, please fill out a Wait List Application 2020-21 and return it to the school with the $50 application fee. If you would like to visit the school for a tour, dates and times of tours can be found under the Tour tab.
The school’s calendar coincides with City Schools of Decatur. Students enrolling for the 2020-21 school year will start school in August 2020. The Willow School 2020-21 school calendar with exact start dates and school closing dates will be available in January 2020.
Enrollment for the GA Lottery Pre-K Program
The Willow School offers a Georgia Lottery Pre-K Program that provides a school day Pre-K program at no cost to families. Before and after school care is available at an additional charge. There is no wait list fee or registration fee for the Pre-K program.
The Pre-K class is currently fully enrolled for the 2019-20 school year. The school maintains a wait list for the class and will fill any spots that become available during the school year from that wait list.
If you are interested in enrolling in the Pre-K class for the 2020-21 school year, please submit a Wait List Application 2020-21 no later than February 28, 2020. The drawing for available spots will be held on March 2, 2020 and families will be notified as soon as possible after the drawing of the results. If there are more applications than available spots we will build the wait list in order of the drawing.
