Re-Enrollment
Re-Enrollment is open for all current families to secure your spot(s) for next year. Please complete your re-enrollment by February 28th.
Mid-Year Transfers
We welcome new students year-round. We have limited openings in grades K-8 at each campus, but please contact us if you are interested because we would love to welcome you to our schools!
Early Enrollment
Early Enrollment deadline for the 2019/20 school year is March 7th. This is the best way to secure your child's spot for next year and avoid wait lists. If you have more than one child to enroll, we strongly recommend enrolling early so they can both get a spot.
Our next event is Enrollment Night on February 21.
Our Enrollment Process
Enrolling in our schools involves two steps: visiting a school & completing an application. You can complete these steps in any order. Many families choose to start their application first and then sign up for a visit.
Visit a School
Complete Your Application
A completed application includes four components:
- The Application (Complete Online)
- Proof of Residency (w/in last 90 days)
- Copy of Child's Birth Certificate
- Child's shot records (due 1st day of school)

What can you expect in our schools?
While each of our schools has a distinct culture and curriculum, you can expect certain things to be true at every campus:
- We believe in our students' potential and we work with them, and you, to achieve -- and exceed! -- their goals
- We have high expectations for everyone: students, teachers, leaders, families, board members, and everyone else in our schools
- We offer a citywide community of support to our scholars and our families, during school and after graduation
Principal Ricardo Franklin Sr, founding school leader at Citizens Leadership Academy East.
We're proud of our students' hard work & results.
