All students must be 5 years of age on or before September 1, 2024, to attend. Students are selected by lottery if needed. If there are still available spaces in the classrooms after the application deadline, no lottery will be needed.

Applications received by April 19, 2024, will be eligible for the lottery drawing on May 3, 2024, with the exception of a child of a parent who has actively participated in the development of the charter school or siblings of children already enrolled. Children living outside the district cannot be considered until the Harrisburg School District children have been served.

Families will be notified of their child's or children's acceptance within two weeks of the lottery. To ensure your child's enrollment, make sure all contact information is up-to-date. If you cannot be reached, your child's enrollment cannot be guaranteed.
