Public Charter School Enrollment

Public Charter School Enrollment

Our Charter School Enrollment Process

Our Kindergarten through Eighth grades are part of our public charter school. Morning Kindergarten through 8th grade are tuition-free. Afternoon Kindergarten is offered with tuition. We offer kindergarten programs at our Sunnyside and Westside campuses. Our Switzer campus houses our First through Sixth grade students, and our Cedar campus serves the seventh and eighth graders.

We encourage you to reach out directly to the campus you are interested in to schedule a tour. (A tour is not required for enrollment.)

A charter school that is sponsored by a school district governing board shall give enrollment preference to eligible pupils who reside within the boundaries of the school district where the charter school is physically located. If capacity is insufficient to enroll all pupils who submit a timely application, the charter school shall select pupils through an equitable selection process such as a lottery except that preference shall be given to siblings of a pupil selected through an equitable selection process such as a lottery.” (The Montessori Charter School of Flagstaff requested and received permission to select its students based on the mechanism of a first-come, first-served waiting list.
