   The waitlist does NOT carry over from year to year.

​​

​​How are seats allocated?

1. Current students are guaranteed seats at WA for next year.
    

2. Siblings of current students will be first in line for any available seats after currently enrolled students.
    

3. Other available seats are filled from the pre-enrollment database. Should interest exceed the number of available seats for any grade, a lottery will be held for that grade.
