New Student Registration for the 2025-26 School Year.
For full-day preschool and half-day 4-yr-old preschool, we currently have a wait list. Families are encouraged to fill out the registration form to be placed on the waitlist, but may skip paying the registration fee until contacted by the office. We also encourage families to reach out to Danielle Kenney, Director of Marketing and Development, dkenney@olwschool.org to ask questions about preschool and the enrollment process.
We can accept registrations for students entering Kindergarten to 8th grade.
Registration Information for 2025-2026
– A $150 non-refundable registration fee is required for all students at the time of registration. Without the registration fee, the student will not be put on any class list. The registration fee is refundable if you do not secure a spot in our school.
– New students also need to provide a LEGAL birth certificate (not the hospital copy) at the time of registration
– If the student is baptized, please also provide the baptismal certificate (even if baptized at OLW)
