K - 12 Enrollment Process

A Tuition-Free Charter School for Every Learner

We’re thrilled you’re interested in joining our community of scholars, leaders, and builders of character. As a tuition-free public charter school, we’re proud to offer a high-quality education accessible to all families. Please view the steps below to see our step-by-step enrollment process.

Step One: Campus Tour & Assessment

The mandatory first step is to attend a guided tour. You’ll see our vibrant classrooms, meet our dedicated teachers, and learn what makes APA an exceptional educational choice.

Student Assessment: While touring, your child(ren) will complete a short, free academic assessment (math and reading). This is used only to determine their current ability level so we can place them in the appropriate ability-based groups upon enrollment (in math, reading, and spelling). This is crucial for maximizing their academic success.

Step Two: Complete the Official Application

Once your tour and assessment are complete, you will be emailed the official application form.

Filling out and submitting this form completes your application to our enrollment lottery.

Step 3: Lottery Placement

All completed applications are placed into our official enrollment lottery. If a seat is available, our enrollment team will contact you directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply for next year?

Applications for the upcoming school year (2026-2027) open on November 28th. Visit our Enrollment Countdown page for the latest updates. 

When will I find out if my child is offered a seat?

The first lottery will be run on January 20, 2026. Students are selected at random until all available spaces are filled. Any remaining applicants are placed on a waiting list and offered enrollment if space becomes available.

My child already attends APA. How do I enroll their sibling?

Please reach out to your campus registrar.

How do I transfer my child to a different APA campus?

Please reach out to your campus registrar. 

What if I have more questions about enrollment?

We’re happy to help! You can call or text our enrollment team at 385-217-4108 and we’ll be glad to answer your questions.

What is the age cutoff for Kindergarten enrollment?

All kindergarten students must turn five years old by September 1 to enroll in a public school in Utah.

If my child is not accepted, will I be notified?

Because our lotteries are “rolling”, and students withdraw at various times all throughout the process, we do not notify parents that their students are not selected.  You are welcome to email your campus registrar to get a status update on your application.

After a lottery, are accepted students notified through a mass email?

Yes, we send an individual acceptance email immediately to each accepted family, rather than mass emails. This allows us to verify the student’s information as well as any siblings the family is enrolling. While this process may take a little longer, it helps increase the chances of having all of your children enrolled at the same time.
