HOW TO APPLY:        **APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN**

We fill our enrollment through a lottery-based system.  This means that families first fill out an online application to be entered into the lottery.  The lottery is held at various points throughout the school year.

If your child’s name is drawn in the lottery, you will then go through the registration process to be fully enrolled.

Registration, as well as the lottery application, is completed through Schoolmint, our online lottery system.

Please note: your child’s lottery application does not roll over from school year to school year.  If you are not offered admission in the year you first apply, and you want to try again the following school year, you will need to reapply for the current school year.
