FAQs
Registration Process
-
Is registration first-come, first-served?
Yes, registration for admitted students is on a first-come, first-served basis. We have a limited number of seats in all courses, and we do not reserve seats for returning students.
-
Can I change my student’s classes after they’re registered?
Yes. If needed, you can add, swap, or remove courses from your child’s schedule up to 14 days after the start of each semester.
-
Can I register my student part-time?
Students who wish to take only 2-3 classes can enroll in our Homeschool Enrichment (HSE) program. Requirements and benefits for this program differ from full-time enrollment. Please see our How to Apply & Enroll page for more details.
-
Can my middle school student take high school classes?
Yes, in some cases. If you have an advanced student in 8th grade, you can request permission from our registrar to enroll them in a high school math, writing, or foreign language course. Middle school students who take high school math or foreign language can receive high school credit (pending approval from Williamsburg Academy of Colorado).

Our Second Language courses are designed for high school students and offered for high school credit. Students in grades 6-8 can enroll in these courses, but might not be prepared for the additional workload. If you feel your middle school student can successfully complete a self-paced, high-school-level language course, please contact our Registrar for approval.
-
Does Williamsburg offer summer classes?
No, we do not offer summer classes. If your student is in need of credit recovery, please contact our School Counselor.

After my student is registered for courses, what’s next?
Once your student is registered, all that’s left is preparing for the first day of school! To help with this, we highly encourage you to review our How to Prepare for School page and on-demand Parent Orientation videos. We’ll also email you and your student with information about student orientation assignments they will need to complete in Canvas (our online learning management system).
