Student Application FAQ

Who can apply?

As a public school, we invite applications from all children who reside in the state of Ohio and meet age requirements. Visit our kindergarten calculator page for state-specific age requirements.

A charter school shall not discriminate against or limit the admission of any student on any unlawful basis, including on the basis of ethnicity, national origin, gender, disability, intellectual ability, measures of achievement or aptitude, athletic ability, race, creed, national origin, religion or ancestry. A school may not require any action by a student or family (such as an admissions test, interview, essay, attendance at an information session, etc.) in order for an applicant to either receive or submit an application for admission to that 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. Open Enrollment for the upcoming school year begins on first day of school and ends at 5:00 p.m. on November 29.
 
You can also apply after the Open Enrollment period. However, your application will be processed in the order in which it was received, after all previous applications that have been submitted.  

Not ready to apply?

Do you have more questions? Would you like to take a tour? Please provide your name and email address, and we will get in touch with you soon! 

Do I need to submit a separate application if I want to apply to more than one NHA school?

If you are interested in applying to multiple schools, please complete the additional schools section on the application.

If there is not a seat for my child this year does my application roll over?

Applications are valid for one school year only. If your child is on the waiting list, we will notify you of the Open Enrollment period for the next school year, so you can reapply in time to be part of the lottery.
