Our school tours typically last about 30 minutes and include visits to classrooms, the gymnasium, playground, and the different grade wings of our building. We will also discuss our daily policies, procedures, and our various programs. During this time you will also be able to meet school leaders and teachers (as time allows) and ask any questions you may have.

When you arrive, please go to the main office to check in where you will be greeted by our friendly office staff. Please make sure you bring your ID as you will be required to show it when you check in.

Enrollment Guide

Willow Parent

The environment at Willow allows my child to be independent and learn in a way that best suites him. I like the Moral Focus and how it instills value in my child to be a positive influence within himself and towards everyone else.
