Registration Information

Welcome to PWCS

Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) uses an online process for registering new students, transferring students between PWCS schools, and withdrawing students from PWCS.

Other Registration Information

Adult Education

Visit the Adult Education webpage to learn about educational opportunities for adults (18 and older) in Prince William County, Manassas City, and Manassas Park City, and view the application process.

Certified Tutor Option

Virginia law allows parents to have their children taught by a tutor or a teacher who meets Virginia teacher licensure qualifications when that individual has been approved as a tutor by the school division superintendent (Virginia Code § 22.1-254). To meet the qualifications prescribed by the Virginia Board of Education, the tutor must have a valid Virginia teaching license in any area (the tutor may be a parent who meets the qualifications).

Tutors are approved if their teaching license is valid. Proof of academic progress is not required.

The PWCS Home Instruction office oversees the verification process for the certified tutor education option. Parents selecting this option must notify the Home Instruction Office by mail at PWCS Student Services Department, Home Instruction, PO Box 389, Manassas, VA 20108, or email at [email protected].

Please include the following in your correspondence:

  • Student's Name
  • Copy of the tutor's valid (current) Virginia teaching license
