Admissions
Start your journey.
At West Sound Academy, students in grades 6–12 are known, challenged, and inspired to grow into thoughtful, confident individuals.
Our International Baccalaureate (IB) program develops curious, intellectually adventurous learners who are ready to take on meaningful challenges and think deeply about the world around them.
Through a focus on personal growth, character development, and real-world application, students gain the skills, perspective, and confidence to pursue their goals and navigate whatever comes next.
Tuition & Affordability
West Sound Academy uses a sliding-scale tuition model to make an IB education accessible to a wide range of families. Our Sliding Scale Tuition program is designed to support families with household incomes generally less than $250,000.
Many families qualify for some level of support, so we encourage you to apply even if you are unsure whether you are eligible.
To be considered, complete the Clarity application, available in your Finalsite admissions checklist, and submit it alongside your application. Clarity is a secure, third-party platform that determines a tuition level based on your family’s financial profile.
