Admissions

Thank you for your interest in The Classical Academies! We are an organization of tuition-free, public charter schools that welcome students from San Diego, Orange, and Riverside counties without district transfer requirements. Our schools are open to all students, regardless of school boundaries.

We encourage new families to attend our New Student Open House each February to learn more about our programs. If you are interested in enrolling for the 2024-2025 school year, please complete the interest form below.

The Classical Academies has designated open enrollment periods to best support our students. These windows allow new students to acclimate and succeed in our program. Enrollment is available before the start of the school year, extending through the first few weeks, and again in January, based on space availability.

Lottery

State and local guidelines require charter schools to hold a lottery whenever the number of applicants exceeds capacity. The state guidelines give priority to students who live within the boundaries of the authorizing district. If The Classical Academies host a lottery, applicants will be selected based on the lottery results, per these established priorities.
