How admission works

From the school’s lottery page and enrollment page:

  • Seats are awarded by a random lottery because space is limited.
  • For 2026-27 the school took pre-enrollment lottery forms from Jan. 8 to March 6, 2026, and began contacting selected families on March 9. One form is needed for each child.
  • Siblings of enrolled students and children of Imagine Schools employees get preference.
  • Children who are offered a seat must turn in all required forms, including immunization and physical exam records, before they can start.

The school has not posted dates for the 2027-28 lottery.
