The Application Process
When does enrollment officially begin?
We will begin accepting applications for the Fall 2027 school year in late 2026. To ensure you receive a notification the moment the application window opens, please complete our [Interest Form].
What grades can I apply for?
For our inaugural year in 2027, we are accepting applications for Kindergarten, 1st Grade, and 2nd Grade students. We will add one grade level each year until we are a full K-8 campus.
Is there an application fee or entrance exam?
No. As a public charter school, we are 100% tuition-free and open to all students. We do not require entrance exams, interviews, or essays for admission.
The Lottery & Placement
What happens if you have more applicants than seats?
If the number of applications exceeds our capacity for a specific grade level, we will hold a random, public lottery in early 2027 to determine student placement. This is a requirement under Nevada law to ensure fair and equal access for all families.
Are there “preferences” in the lottery?
In accordance with Nevada state law, we provide certain lottery preferences, such as for siblings of currently enrolled students and children of founding board members or school staff. All other students are entered into the general lottery pool.
What if my child is not selected in the lottery?
Students not selected during the initial lottery are placed on a waitlist in the order determined by the random drawing. If a seat becomes available before or during the start of the school year, we will contact the next family on the waitlist immediately.
