We accept applications one year in advance. Applications for the 2024-2025 school year were available in September 2024 (applications are now closed). In September 2025, we will accept applications for the 2026-2027 school year.

Although we make every effort to prioritize enrolment for siblings of current students, particularly those who are applying for high-intake years, siblings must follow regular admission processes and are not automatically guaranteed a space. All candidates must meet admission requirements to ensure the school is able to provide a learning environment that is academically and socially supportive to their needs and goals.

All in-house designed assessments and group activities will be conducted in person. Due to the important nature of these group observations, virtual assessments will not be available. In the event of illness on the scheduled assessment day, an alternate in-person assessment will be considered. View the assessment dates below to assist with your planning.

Assessment dates are posted the first week of September to provide families with sufficient notice to make arrangements for the assessment day. However, if your child falls ill on the assessment day, contact the Enrolment Office to arrange an alternate assessment date.

Given the high number of applicants, we conduct a shortlisting process. This is not a reflection of a child's capabilities or a family’s potential for being part of the WPGA community. Throughout the process we consider how each family aligns with our values, the current cohort of students, and how we can best support the applicant with their learning.

We are pleased that so many families feel that WPGA would be a good match for their family. This means that we receive far more applications each year than there are spaces available. Also, some grades are not entry years, which limits our opportunity to enrol students, and we prioritize enrolment for siblings of current students. Although there are limited spaces, we do hope families who would like to join our WPGA community submit an application for consideration. 
 
For all families who apply to WPGA, we are committed to an admission process that is welcoming, fair and inclusive. We respect your interest in our school and are committed to ensuring your experience with WPGA is positive and supportive. We abide by the NAIS Principles of Good Practice and the AISAP Ethical Behavior and Best Practices for Admission Professionals.

Our afterschool care program (kindergarten–grade 7) is Monday to Friday, 3pm–5:30pm, for an additional fee. Capacity is limited and registration is by term (no drop-ins; first come, first served).

WPGA has a morning bus service, contingent on ridership, for an additional fee. The bus currently picks up students at five locations on the west side (Yaletown, Douglas Park, Kerrisdale, Musqueam Golf Academy, Dunbar); locations are subject to change each year. The bus arrives at the school gym at 8:05am.

Our Enrolment Office has a no-gifts policy. We respect the gesture of appreciation; however, we do not accept donations/gifts of any kind from prospective families.

No, we do not accept students for short-term visits.

We have a nursing team whose office is open to all students during the school day. Our nurses also oversee regular childhood vaccinations and teach sexual health courses with our counselling team.
