ADMISSIONS REVIEW

The lottery is scheduled for April 5, 2023. All eligible applications submitted are automatically entered into the lottery and no further steps are needed. If your child is not accepted during the initial lottery (the lottery is random), he or she will be placed on our waitlist. Students are admitted according to the number of seats available. If an offer is extended, ample time will be provided to consider your choice. Once an offer is accepted, a button to begin registration will become available in the same account you created to apply. Our team will review the application, and supporting documents as a final step and send notification that registration is verified. Registration is not complete until it is verified by CSA.
