Enrollment

For students applying for the 2010 – 2011 school year: Our open enrollment period is February 1 through March 15, 2010.  If the number of applicants exceeds the available student vacancies then a lottery will be held to randomly select from the total of student applicants. An offer of admission will be made to those persons selected in the lottery up to the number of student vacancies. Parents shall have 10 business days to respond to the offer of admission. If that response is negative or if there is no response then the school shall move to the next applicant selected in the lottery until all student vacancies have been filled.

For students applying after the initial enrollment period: Application received after March 15th will not be eligible for the initial lottery, but will be held until the mid-year lottery drawing.  Names will be added to the waiting list compiled at the initial lottery in the order that they are drawn.

Initial Lottery Drawing: Friday, May 14, 2010 at 6:00 pm in the School Library.

Mid-year Lottery Drawing: Friday, December 3, 2010 at 6:00 pm in the School Library.

Due to the high volume of demand, tours will be given only to families of students who have submitted an application and have been determined to meet the school’s eligibility requirements.
