Enrollment Process for 2026-27 School Year
The Common Online Charter School Application is now open for the 2026-27 school year! Charter schools accept applications on a rolling basis. If there are more student applications than seats available, charter schools are required to hold lotteries to randomly select students for admission. Students whose names are not selected in the lottery will be added to the school鈥檚 wait list and may be admitted as seats become available in the future. Families can expect to receive notification of application status directly from schools through the spring and summer.
