Maybe the school year is a few weeks in and it hasn't gone the way you hoped. Maybe you've caught yourself wondering whether it's simply too late to change course now. If you've been looking at Williamsburg Academy of Colorado, our tuition-free online school for Colorado families, the good news is it's not too late. Enrollment for this school year is still open.
There's one date that matters most: your application, with your documents, needs to be submitted and approved by 5 PM Mountain Time on September 17. That's the last day we can accept new applications for this school year. From there, a few short steps get your student ready for classes. Below, we'll walk through the timeline, who can enroll, and the simplest way to find out whether WAC is a good fit for your student.
Yes. Enrollment at Williamsburg Academy of Colorado is open for the current school year. The key deadline is September 17: your application and documents need to be submitted and approved by 5 PM Mountain Time that day. After that, a few short steps get your student ready for classes.
Starting a few weeks into the year is more common than most parents expect, and it tends to go more smoothly than they fear. Every new student is paired with a mentor who helps them get oriented and find their footing, so no one is left to figure it out on their own. We'll get into how that works a little further down.
The date to circle is September 17. By 5 PM Mountain Time that day, your application needs to be submitted, with the required documents, and approved. Because we review each application before approving it, it's worth getting everything in with a little time to spare rather than right at the deadline.
Once your application is approved, we help your student get set up and settled from there. You won't be sorting out the logistics on your own. Your Enrollment Advisor and your student's mentor walk you through what comes next.
And if the 17th is right around the corner as you're reading this, that's okay. It just means the best next step is a short conversation, which we'll come to in a minute.
Williamsburg Academy of Colorado is tuition-free for Colorado families, and enrollment is open to students in grades 6 through 12. A few things worth knowing:
The quieter worry under "is it too late" is usually this: will my student fall behind if we switch now? It's a fair question, and the honest answer is that joining partway through is meant to be manageable. No one expects your family to sort it out alone.
Students attend live online classes led by mentors who get to know them by name, so support is part of the daily rhythm rather than something you have to go looking for. When a student needs to revisit a lesson or pick up something from earlier in the term, class recordings let them do it at their own pace. And because every course has a mentor keeping track of how the student's doing, those first few weeks are mostly about getting comfortable and connected.
If the year so far has been rougher than you expected, our guide on helping your student process a tough school year is a gentle place to start.

Not at all. Enrollment at Williamsburg Academy of Colorado is still open for the current school year.

Yes. WAC is tuition-free for eligible Colorado families. An Enrollment Advisor can walk you through what eligibility looks like for your student.
Joining after the year has started is meant to be manageable. A mentor helps your student get oriented, and class recordings make it easy to catch up on anything they missed.
None of this has to be decided today. But if some part of you keeps circling back to whether this year could go differently for your student, that's worth paying attention to. There's still time to act on it, and a short conversation is a low-pressure way to see what's possible.
What we want for every WAC student is pretty simple: a year where they feel known, where the work challenges them in the right ways, and where they start to see themselves as capable of more than they thought. If that's the kind of year you're hoping to give your student, we'd love to talk it through with you.
