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.
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.
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.
All completed applications are placed into our official enrollment lottery. If a seat is available, our enrollment team will contact you directly.
We’re excited to have your family become part of the APA family, where students, staff, and parents work together to build character and academic excellence. Schedule your tour below.

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