Admissions

Prospective & Returning Students

New students are required to meet foreign language and logic curriculum requirements. If Latin or Logic have not been taken, a summer home study course, coordinated through WHLA may be required to ensure proper placement.

All new students enter Western Heritage Lutheran Academy under a 6-week probation period. This period allows the teacher(s) and administration adequate time to determine if Western Heritage Lutheran Academy is able to meet the educational needs of the students. Because of our parochial/private school status, there may arise an incidence of a child with either learning or behavioral problems for which Western Heritage Lutheran Academy is unable to provide adequate services.

A meeting with parents, teacher(s), and administrator shall be requested at any time during these six weeks if removal from Western Heritage Lutheran Academy is being considered. This meeting will be used to discuss teacher observations and concerns, and recommendations will be given to parents concerning their children.

Western Heritage Lutheran Academy reserves the right to place students in the appropriate instructional level as determined by standardized tests, previous records, and any additional placement tests of ability and achievement, not solely upon the age of the student.
