If you are wanting to apply for the current 2025-2026 school year, please visit our Apply Now page. You will need to schedule an Application Tour to begin the application process.

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

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.

Siblings receive a priority status in our enrollment lottery. To enroll a sibling, please follow these steps:

• Sign up for a tour at the campus where you’d like to enroll the student.
• When booking the tour, be sure to select ‘yes’ when the form asks if the student is a sibling.
• Confirm your sibling status when you arrive for the tour, and you will then proceed with only the assessment portion of the tour.
• After the assessment, you will receive an email with our formal sibling application.

The transfer application can be found at the following link: Transfer Application

Our priority sibling enrollment window is November 1st – December 1st. This ensures priority enrollment before the public lottery.

Families will be notified of sibling enrollment offers the week of January 5th. The public lottery is on January 20th.

• The transfer application window is November 1st – December 15th, which ensures priority is given before our first public lottery.
• The first transfer offers will be sent on January 5th.

Transfer applications will be reviewed for offers again on May 1st and July 1st.

You will not need to do anything special to enroll your student at the secondary campus. All 6th graders are automatically given a 7th grade seat, provided you have completed the re-enrollment process. Please watch for information from your student’s current campus concerning re-enrollment and celebration of excellence meetings.

You should begin the process in the November prior to your child being old enough to start Kindergarten. Our lottery for the following school year opens every year on Black Friday. We cannot take kindergarten applications until this time.

American Prep is a tuition-free public charter school. We do not have tuition for any of our K-12th grade students. Some fees are charged in grades 7th-12th, which is the same as attending any traditional public school.

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.
