How do I apply?

The lottery is publicly noticed annually and is open for public observation. Because the number of applications MSC receives annually usually exceeds the spaces available, MSC holds a lottery in the spring.

A lottery allows all applicants an equal opportunity to gain admission to the charter school. However, priority (that is, pre-lottery admission), can be granted to siblings of current students, siblings of children who are selected through the lottery, former students, or children of faculty members.

Priority enrollment can be comprised of up to twenty percent of the total enrollment. Once the lottery period closes, parents may still apply and will be admitted on a space-available basis.

The lottery application for the 2025-2026 school year is now open. Use the links in the Resources section of the website to access the online application. The application is provided in both English and Spanish. You will need a valid email address in order to create an account with PowerSchool Enrollment to complete your child's application. The lottery is now held electronically through PowerSchool. This year's lottery will be held via zoom, during the MSC Board Meeting on April 16, 2025.
