In early April, families will be notified if their child won an offer in our Lottery to enroll into a school of their choice.

Families who do not receive an offer in the Lottery will be placed on the waitlist and notified on a rolling basis as seats become available. New offers are made to families on the waitlist every day!

Uncommon Schools is committed to ensuring that all families have an equal opportunity to enroll in our schools and many of our current families enrolled after being pulled from the waitlist!

Families that receive offers into our schools must complete their school registration form and provide necessary documentation.

If your child was offered a seat at one of the schools on the application, you must accept the offer and complete registration to secure your child’s spot at that school. Completing registration includes proving the following documentation:

• Two proofs of address
• Child birth certificate or passport
• Immunization record
• IEP documentation (if applicable)

Registered families will attend orientation to learn more about the school hours,
curriculum, culture, and more.

Your school’s main office will communicate details with you directly.

Welcome to Uncommon Schools! Your pathway to and through college begins today!
