    • All students who wish to attend FWPA MUST apply through the district's Choice Enrollment Program.  This includes siblings of current FWPA students who are wanting to enroll at FWPA through sibling preference.  Remember, there are limited slots per grade.

    • Priority is given to: 

      • Students whose siblings are currently enrolled at the requested School, and have a confirmed placement at the Choice school for the requested school year.

      • Students whose parents are permanent employees of FWPA

      • Students residing in the Federal Way Public School District

     

    What happens if my student doesn't get in?

    • If your student does not get into FWPA through the Choice Enrollment Program, your student will be placed on a wait list.  As soon as a space becomes available for your student, we will contact you.
