Enrollment Information for the 2025-2026 School Year

Thank you for your interest in enrolling at Renaissance Academy Charter School for the 2025-2026 school year!

Renaissance Academy's enrollment is lottery-based. This application is the first part of the process. If your student is selected during the lottery, the final part of the process is enrollment.

This application pertains only to the lottery for the 2025-2026 school year. It is important to note that completing this application does not guarantee a spot for your student but serves as the initial step in the enrollment lottery or waitlist process.

Lottery Deadline

The 2025-2026 school year enrollment application will open on September 30th, 2024.

Applications must be submitted by December 7th, 2024. The lottery will be held on January 27th, 2025 at 9:00AM. The lottery will be livestreamed, details below.

If you miss the December 7th deadline, you can still apply for the upcoming school year. However, please note that late applications, including those for siblings of currently enrolled students, will not be eligible for the lottery.

Fully completed and submitted applications will be added to Renaissance Academy's waitlists based on the student's 2025-2026 grade level. If your application is submitted by the December 7, 2024, lottery deadline, you will receive a confirmation email with additional information about the lottery in January 2025. If you apply after December 7, 2024, your application will be placed on our waitlists, and you will receive a confirmation email with waitlist information.
