Course Selection and Registration

The Registration Process

We are excited to work with you to create a customized class schedule for your student! Our goal is to ensure your student is properly placed in classes that will provide the best learning environment, meet freshman-year learning standards, and foster your student’s passions for the future.

Here’s how it works:

Freshman Placement Recommendations

Placement recommendations for English, Math, Science, Spanish, Chinese, and French is determined by Wheaton Academy Department Heads after reviewing information gained through the placement test.
