The #1 thing we’re focused on is providing an excellent school for every child. We’d be honored to provide that opportunity to your student.
The Hartford Public School Choice application for the 2023-2024 school year is now open and we’re excited for you to join us! Follow this link to apply!
To apply today, simply click here and follow the instructions to fill out the application. The HPS Choice Application is open from January 9 until March 31. Be sure to submit an application before the close date to be eligible for 2022-23 enrollment. For more information about the Hartford District Choice Application click here.
Once you fill out an application, you will be entered into the Hartford Public Schools (HPS) lottery for a seat at Achievement First. The HPS Lottery will run sometime this Spring and is run by Hartford Public Schools. We will maintain regular contact to keep you updated on the application process!
1. Create a SchoolMint Account
2. Fill out each section of the application (and be sure to include all information about your current AF scholars!)
3. Submit the application
As a reminder, current AF scholars do not need to reapply to AF and enter the lottery again.
For general Achievement First information, please attend an upcoming Virtual Information Session–link here. For more specific school information, follow this link to RSVP to an Hour with AF event. These links will be updated with events throughout the year.
All admissions to Achievement First (AF) schools are completed through a blind lottery, with preference given to siblings. AF is committed to serving all students—including students with disabilities and Multi-Language Learners (MLLs) by providing the individual support they need to grow and succeed.
Please note: The lottery resets every year, therefore all waitlisted statuses for the 2022-2023 school year will be cleared. If your child was on the waitlist last year, please fill out a new application for the 2023-2024 school year in order to participate in the 2023-2024 Hartford Public Schools Choice Lottery.
We know there have been many challenges this year, and we are focused on ensuring all kids we have the honor of serving know that they are safe, loved and learning in our schools. We invite you to fill out an application as early as possible in order to take full advantage of upcoming virtual family events and opportunities that offer a true window into the AF team and family.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions at AdmissionsHFD@achievementfirst.org or call (475) 222-3719.
If your child is currently enrolled in an AF school and you feel you have received this email in error, please share with friends and families looking for a new school community. Current AF families do not need to reapply.
Warm regards,
Achievement First Admissions Hartford
