Application and Enrollment Process

General Information

All students who reside in the state of Oregon are eligible for admission to Arthur Academy Public Charter School. Oregon Charter School law allows students to apply to the school from outside the school district without an inter-district transfer.

Applications

Applications are accepted starting January 8th of each year for the following school year and are accepted through the entire school year.

As per our Charter School Agreement, priority will be given to students as follows:

• Current students

• Siblings of current students

• Students residing in that school district

• Out of district students

Lottery Process

In the event that Arthur Academy receives more applications than there are openings in a specific grade, a random lottery will be held. 

• Phase 1 of the lottery is for incoming Kindergarten students. Phase 1 of the lottery is held at the beginning of April. All kindergarten applications submitted between January - March 31st will be included in this first phase.

  • • • Approximately fourteen days after this kindergarten lottery is conducted, accepted applicants will be notified.

      • The remaining students will be placed on a wait list in the event of future openings. These waitlisted applicants will NOT be notified unless their student moves off the waitlist onto the accepted list.

• Phase 2 of the lottery will be held for incoming Kindergarten - 5th grade students. Phase 2 of the lottery is held at the beginning of June. 

  • • • All kindergarten applications submitted between April - May 31st will be included in this second phase. If the kindergarten class is full, these applications will be added to the waitlist.

      • All 1st-5th grade applications submitted between January - May 31st will be included in this second phase.

      • Applicants will be notified when and if a spot is available. 

• All applications received after May 31st will be added to the waitlist in the order they are received.
