Here's What to Expect When Applying
Applying to Windemere Park Charter Academy is simple, and we're here to help along the way. Learn what to expect from application through acceptance, including Open Enrollment, the lottery process, and next steps for your family.
-
As a public school, we welcome applications from all students who meet age and residency criteria. For specific questions on the school's age and residency requirements, please contact us.
-
Complete the online application right here on our website. Applications submitted during Open Enrollment are all given equal consideration through a lottery held after the closing date. See our Admissions page for this year's Open Enrollment dates.
You can also apply after Open Enrollment closes. Those applications are considered in the order received, after all earlier applications have been processed.
-
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. -
If a seat is offered, we'll contact you by email and text message. Keep your contact information current and opt in to text messages so you don't miss anything. We'll send details about setting up your Parent Portal account along with a list of required documents, which need to be completed by a certain date to secure the seat. All documents can be completed or uploaded securely online.
