Application Process

Each year we conduct a lottery to create a waitlist.  The deadline for the 2008-2009 school year lottery was January 9. 2008.  Processing the lottery involves scrambling all of the applications, randomly numbering the applications, and then creating a list of students. 

Applications received from this point forward will be placed at the bottom of our waitlist in the order in which they are received.  We use our waitlist all school year long to fill vacancies as they arise.
