Here's What to Expect When Applying
Who can apply?
As a public school, we invite applications from all children who meet age and residency criteria. For specific questions on the school's age and residency requirements, please call Brooklyn Dreams Charter School.When do I apply?
We want every child to have an equal opportunity to attend our school. All applications received during Open Enrollment will be given equal consideration after the closing date through a lottery. See the Admissions page for specific dates of Open Enrollment.You can also apply after the Open Enrollment period. However, your application will only be considered in the order in which it was received, after all previous applications have been processed.
How are students selected?
When the Open Enrollment period ends, we compare the number of applications we received to the number of available seats in each grade level.
If more seats are available than applicants, we accept all eligible children who applied during Open Enrollment.
If we have fewer seats available than applicants, a lottery will take place to determine which students get a seat and which students are placed on the waiting list. Preferences vary by school and will be granted accordingly during the lottery process.
Children who apply after Open Enrollment closes are processed in the order their applications are received and are placed on the appropriate list – accepted or waiting list.
If your child is on the waiting list, don’t be discouraged! Seats often become available throughout the spring and summer. We will continue to keep you informed if your child remains on the waiting list.

We'll send you details about setting up your Parent Portal account along with a list of required documents that will need to be completed by a certain date to secure your child's seat. The enrollment process is simple, and all documents can be securely completed or uploaded online through the Parent Portal.
