Admissions
Welcome!
Dear Prospective Families,
Welcome to Woodside Priory. We are delighted that you are considering our community as part of your family’s educational journey.
At Priory, we believe that choosing a school is about finding a place where your child will be known, valued, challenged, and inspired. Rooted in our Benedictine values of Community, Hospitality, Individuality, Spirituality, and Integrity, Priory offers a rigorous and engaging academic experience within a community that encourages students to discover who they are, develop their unique gifts, and consider how they will use those gifts to make a meaningful difference in the world.
Strong and challenging academics are central to the Priory experience. Our students are asked to think deeply, engage thoughtfully, take intellectual risks, and stretch beyond what they thought possible. They are guided by exceptional teachers who bring expertise, passion, and genuine care to their classrooms. At Priory, academic rigor and meaningful relationships go hand in hand. Our teachers know their students well, challenge them appropriately, and inspire them to become increasingly curious, confident, and independent learners.
That spirit of discovery extends far beyond the classroom. Whether on an athletic field, on stage, through the arts, in service to others, during a global experience, or simply in conversation with a trusted teacher or friend, students are continually presented with opportunities to explore new interests and better understand themselves. We want our students to leave Priory exceptionally well prepared for the academic opportunities ahead, while also possessing a stronger sense of who they are, what they value, and who they hope to become.
Our strong sense of community makes that growth possible. Priory is a place where students are encouraged to bring their full selves, where individuality is celebrated, and where relationships create the foundation for both achievement and belonging. Students are surrounded by adults and peers who encourage them to try something new, persevere through challenges, celebrate their successes, and learn from moments of uncertainty.
As you begin your admissions journey, I hope you will come to see it as more than an application process. Our Admissions Team is committed to making your experience with Priory welcoming, informative, and enriching. We want you to ask questions, spend time in our community, meet our students and teachers, and experience firsthand the combination of academic excellence, inspirational teaching, meaningful relationships, and opportunities for self-discovery that defines a Priory education.
Just as we hope to learn about your child and family, we want to give you every opportunity to determine whether Priory feels like the right community for you.
On behalf of our entire Admissions Team, thank you for your interest in Woodside Priory. We look forward to welcoming you to campus, getting to know your family, and sharing all that Priory has to offer.
In Gratitude,
Kirk Gossman
Director of Enrollment Management and Access
