How admission works

From the school’s enrollment page:

  • The school takes applications all year through its online enrollment system (SchoolMint).
  • Open enrollment for 2026-27 ran Nov. 3 to Dec. 5, 2025. Every application made in that window had an equal chance, whether it came in on the first day or the last.
  • If a grade had more applications than seats, a computer-generated random lottery decided who was offered a seat. Results were published Dec. 12, 2025.
  • A family offered a seat has seven calendar days to accept and 14 days to finish registering online.
  • Registration needs a birth certificate, a parent’s driver’s license, proof of residence, the immunization form, a physical from the last 12 months and the latest report card.

Under Florida’s charter school law, section 1002.33, a charter school that receives more applications than it has seats must fill them by random lottery. Ask the school whether a grade has open seats now.
