The Applicant Profile offers admissions the opportunity to get to know your family and your student and is completed in the first section of the application. 

Tours and Interviews
A campus visit during the academic year typically involves a 45 minute tour with an admission counselor where parents and guardians are able to ask questions about the school or the admission process. An interview will be scheduled once the application has been completed.  You will be able to monitor the status of an application once the application has been completed.

If you would like to tour the campus please call 503.697.4711 x1359 or email admissions@wchsonline.org.

At Westside, we do not require any sort of testing during the admissions process. Transcripts, recommendations, and the Applicant profile are all important in assessing an application. 

English Proficiency
If English is not your native language, and you have not been studying in a school where English is the primary language of instruction for the past two years, you should also take an English language proficiency test. International students will be tested on the ability to speak English during the interview in-person or through online.

Westside applicants uses the online application Renweb to complete the Applicant Form, Parent and Student Questionnaires, and Referral Documents. Completing the Referral Documents online through the Renweb system is a simple and secure process for you and your teachers. Your first step is to ask people if they will recommend you. If they agree, ask them for their email addresses. You will then enter those addresses in the Referral Documents section of the application so your recommenders will receive the forms via email. We advise recommenders to print copies of their recommendations before submission.

To complete an application, you must submit all forms, pay the $100 fee and push submit before the January 31, 2023 deadline. Westside uses Renweb, an online application system. Applications to Westside must be submitted electronically through the Renweb application system.
