IMMERSION LOTTERY OPEN

Our Immersion Lottery is now open for applications! Current exposure students in grades K-5 are invited to apply. You may apply anytime between Monday, May 1st, and Monday, May 15th. Please fill out all fields correctly to ensure there are no problems when we draw names. (If your student is currently in the Immersion program, please do not fill out the survey.)

(Copy and paste link into a new tab, if not working)

Once the lottery closes, student names will be randomly selected according to the number of Immersion spots we currently have available in each grade. You will be notified by email shortly after the end of this school year. As we get closer to the new school year, and even after school starts, we often find out we have additional openings. We will draw from the lottery as openings occur and will notify you by email if your child's name is drawn.

LOTTERY ENROLLMENT

Open enrollment is here! NDPA is a state charter school with the number of applicants exceeding the number of openings. We handle this by accepting students via a lottery system. When a student is selected from the lottery pool, his or her siblings are given preference to other applicants; they are placed on a special sibling waiting list until openings are available.

If you applied for the 2022-2023 school year and your child was not selected, you will need to re-apply for the 2023-2024 school year. Applications are not rolled over to the next school year. Every effort will be made to accept all siblings within an individual family, but this may not be possible due to capacity on class sizes.
