After payment of the appropriate registration fee, new students will be scheduled for
screening and a determination of acceptance will take place. Complete student records
from previous schools will need to be supplies as applicable. If admission is denied
because the
St. William School does not have suitable placement, is not a good fit, or we have a
problem completing screening and/or receiving records, or the parent decides not to
enroll a child by May 30th, $100 of the registration fee will be refunded. After May 30th, no
portion of the registration fee will be refunded.

Update from Code.org:
Code.org turns 1! A year ago, we released a video to inspire students to take interest in
computer science. It became #1 on You Tube in one day. Now students have written 1
billion lines of code on Code.org.
