Admissions Process

  • You must be at least 18 years old to apply with our simple online application. You will be required to provide basic personal details, a Christian testimony, Church membership status, and one pastoral contact from your church. You do not need to have completed any level of academic achievement to be accepted, although having completed a high school program is strongly encouraged. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, sex, or social status.

  • Consider if a Certificate track is right for you and select the track you intend to complete on the application. To learn more about the certificate tracks visit Academics.

  • If you are not a member of a church or if you are in between membership at the time of application, an interview may be required.

  • After submitting your application, a decision will be made within a week by the Executive Director.

  • If accepted, you will pay a non-refundable administrative/application fee to register for classes.

  • We operate on a rolling admission. You can apply in the “off season” preparing for courses in the following summer. You can also apply as late as the day before a course. Applications do not automatically register you for classes, registration is separate and will be advertised to admitted students as early as late winter/early spring each year. If you apply late, there may not be room in the course for you.

  • No. Once you have applied and paid your admin./application fee, you are a student of WSI. Each Winter/Spring you will be sent a listing of upcoming courses that you can register for.

  • We are not a formal undergraduate or graduate school. We do not offer degrees or accredited certificates. We do offer certificates of completion for our certificate track options if you register to complete courses “for credit.” See the academics page for more information.
