Who can apply?

There are no residency requirements, so any child residing in the Bay Area may apply.

How do you apply?

Admission to our school can be competitive. To make the process as fair as possible, we accept applications up until the day preceding the application deadline. We then hold a lottery.

Our 2009 lottery will be held on Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Applications are due Tuesday, February 24, 2009.

Applications must be fully completed and returned to the school office by noon of the day immediately preceding the lottery. You may mail, drop-off your application in-person, or fax it to our office. Applications received after the lottery deadline will be processed on an as-received, space-available basis.

When do families learn lottery results?

Within a week of the lottery, children will be offered a space in an enrolling class or a space on the waitlist.  Families must return a confirmation with two weeks of being notified. 
In the month of May, successful applicants will participate in our school-wide registration week.  You will be notified by mail of this registration.
