We are thrilled that you are considering UPCS as an educational option for your child(ren).  Enrollment at UPCS is open to any student within the state of California.  We are a free, public charter school.  When enrolling your child in a California public Charter School, you do not have to apply for a transfer from your home school district.  UPCS enrillment is conducted through a lottery process.  The main lottery is held annually on the first Friday in March.  If your child is not chosen through the lottery, they are placed on a waitlist in lottery order for the remainder of that school year.  If you apply after the lottery, you will be notified when a space becomes available.
