Frequently Asked Questions

Top Enrollment Questions from Families Like You

Yes. Westfield Charter Academy is a K–6, tuition-free public charter school open to all students in the area. As a public school, we're funded the same way district schools are, so there's no cost to attend.

If you're ready to apply, submit your application online through our website. It's free and only takes a few minutes.

If you're still exploring or have questions about who can apply, when to apply, or next steps, our Student Application FAQ has helpful answers.

Open Enrollment is the designated period when families can apply for the upcoming school year and receive equal consideration for available seats. If we receive more applications than we have seats, a random lottery determines which students are offered a seat and sets the order of the waiting list. If we receive fewer applications than seats, all eligible students are accepted.

See our Open Enrollment FAQ for important dates and details.

The lottery is a random selection process used to fill available seats in each grade level. A lottery is only held if the number of applications received during Open Enrollment exceeds the number of seats available.

Learn more on our Lottery FAQ.

If your child is placed on the waiting list, don't be discouraged. Seats often open throughout the spring and summer as families' plans change, and we'll send you monthly updates on your child's status.

Find more information on our Waiting List FAQ.

If your child is offered a seat, we'll contact you by email and text with next steps to complete registration. Keep your contact information current and opt in to text messages so you don't miss anything, since seats are time-sensitive and we can only hold one for so long.
