Our lottery is held each year in March for the upcoming school year. Numbers are drawn at random to determine the order in which student applications will be processed. Students are admitted on a space-available basis. We will notify you if your child has been admitted, and additional information will be sent to all Charter School families throughout the spring and summer in preparation for the coming school year.

Please contact us if you have any further questions.
