Enrollment Process
Step One: Application of Interest/Intent to Enroll
In order to apply to Ivy Academia, a prospective family must apply using the Application of Interest/Intent to Enroll form. Applications of Interest enable the prospective student(s) to be placed directly onto our acceptance list or on our waiting list.
Step Two: Public Lottery* (if necessary in Spring of the prior school year)
Following open enrollment which concludes on the last Friday of February, applications shall be counted to determine whether any grade level has received more applications than availability.
