Whitney Academy has a year around rolling admissions. Any in-state school systems and agencies, private persons and out of state medical, mental health and social service agency may apply at any time. The admission Screening Team initially determines the candidate s eligibility for admission through review of written information and telephone interviews with relevant individuals and agencies.

We believe placement should be a fit between the family and an agency’s ability to meet their educational and therapeutic needs. Due to the delicacy and impact placement can have on an individual’s life, we require all prospective students to go through our screening processes. If the initial screening is positive, a visit to the candidate’s current placement will be scheduled to interview him along with family and/or service providers. A day or overnight visit to the Academy may also be scheduled. A final admission decision can be made following this process. Alternate screening arrangements may be made, based on geographic distance and individual considerations. Screening process specific
