Enrollment & Admissions Policy
The purpose of this policy is to establish clear, fair, and consistent procedures for student admissions and enrollment. The school will admit students in accordance with applicable Florida law and will not provide admission preference except as permitted by Florida statute.
Admission is based solely on submission of a completed application. Applications may be submitted online, or by paper upon request for families without internet access.
Purpose
Admission of Students
The schools operated by the organization are public charter schools which receive their Charters from the local school district, and as such, comply with all applicable requirements of state law and the public school system as well as their Charters. Federal Law may also apply if the school is the recipient of federal grant funds. As such, we admit all students based on space availability. The parents may attend a tour, learn information about the school, and share information regarding the student that would assist us in meeting the student’s needs as is permitted under the law. Children will be admitted based on availability for the current year. If they are applying for the following year, they will follow the lottery procedure as described below.
